Kwale young journalists in the field at Menzamwenye
During the mapping process, Kwale young journalists realized that, Dzombo location has 27 schools both primary, 2 CBO, (community based organization) and 5 health facilities. Among the 27 schools, 22 schools are public and 5 schools are private. Among the 22 schools, 4 schools are secondary.
The facilities both schools and hospital are not equally distributed as they are widely apart. In some schools there are higher rates of drop outs reasons early pregnancies, ignorance, peer pressure, ghosts and child labour. For instance Vitsangaraweni primary school which had 52 drop outs in 2011. Again the number of student is very high compared to the teachers.
Some of the health facilities are not provided with relevant medicines on main diseases affecting that particular area.
The process also encountered some challenges. For instances some of the interviewees were not willing to out the right information on number of pregnancies pupils in schools and cases of abortion in hospitals. And also some were not cooperative. The poor road network is a major challenge to access the interior areas especially in bad weather.
The group expectations are to link the global community with the currents events happening in our local area in advocating child rights through the web

Greetings from Melbourne Australia. This a good start to advence the work towards realizing child rights in Kwale Connty. I have heard in the past child marriages is a big problem in the greater Kwale County. Which specific regions in the County are most affected and what is your group doing to ensure that these are adressed adequately? Are the trends, based on your experience, going up or down?
Keep up the good job.
Sammy

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is not that great, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. WordPress Seo Plugin
