Kilifi County has one of the highest teenage pregnancy and school dropout cases in the country. A survey done by Plan International last year indicate that total of 120 school going girls in the county were sexually abused, and dropped out of school due to early pregnancy. Most pregnancy cases have been blamed on poverty, sex predators among elderly men, and night funeral events popularly known as ‘disco matangas’. Our reporter Ann Mburu sheds more light on this ever worrying situation in the first of a two-part series, the 'Bane of Teenage Pregnancy in Kilifi.'
