Description
Picture taken last Saturday (March 8th, 2008) in Brussels (Marché aux herbes, 68)
Rispah, 38 years old, Kenya.
My husband died of AIDS thirteen years ago. One day, I felt my health going down hill. I couldn't work any more; I kept getting sick. I was tested seropositive. Of the three women who spent time with my husband, I’m the only one still alive. I had no one to turn to. I was alone, with my two children and my sister’s baby, whom I took in when my sister died. Sometimes I didn’t even have any food.
I’ve had the luck of benefitting from antiretroviral treatment against the AIDS virus. I quickly recovered my strength, whereas before I was weak and sick. Three months later, I could walk again, and even work. I can now pay for this house, and pay for my children’s schooling.
