Renowned HIV/AIDS crusader Asunta Wagura welcomes twins at 60

Renowned anti-HIV/AIDS crusader Asunta Wagura has welcomed twin girls at the age of 60, becoming a mother of seven children.

Taking to her Facebook page to share the news, Asunta expressed her disbelief at the unexpected turn of events!

Having lived positively with HIV for over 34 years, Asunta considers the birth of her twins as a fulfilment, revelation, and revolution of her soul.

She shared, “I never knew exactly what I was looking for until it arrived, swaddled in pink and crying out with vigorous, life-affirming wails…Who says you can’t set sail on new adventures just as you’re nearing that ‘sixth floor’ of life

Meanwhile, Asunta was diagnosed with HIV in 1988, at a time when such a diagnosis was akin to a death sentence

To combat the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS, she founded the Kenyan Network of Women with AIDS (Kenwa)

Through Kenwa, Asunta and her team made home visits, providing necessities and care to those affected by the virus, reaching upwards of 10,000 people at one point.
