Many parents in this area do not value education since many of them are primary drop outs. For the few who understand the importance of education, money is the hindrance. Lack of education has played a big role in many individuals participating in the production of illicit alcohol brews (‘chang’aa’ or ‘kumi kumi’), especially for woman. This is because many of them do not have any vocational skills and hence are forced to engage into illegal deals and businesses. The decisions made by these adults have a string of negative tertiary effects on the lives of young ones.<span style=""> </span></p> <p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width: 343.5pt;
