Description

This project made to make a design of asphalt roads of 4.27 km at Misibya- |Mwembe site in Kiogoro district, Kisii sector. The specific objectives of the study were to produces topographic map of the case study, to design suitable horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, cross sections of road which will facilitate these trucks and heavy vehicles and to calculate and specify the earthwork quantities (cut and fill volume). The topographic analysis of Kiogoro District identifies 4 distinct features: Areas of gentle slopes (less than 20 percent gradient) on the ridges and along the wetlands; areas with steep slopes (more than 20 percent gradient); linear ridges running along the length of the sectors; alluvial plains along the rivers Mwembe and Kiogoro. In this project, researcher collected data by using modern surveying instrument like total station, dump level et c. Laptop with engineering software CAD (computer aided design) which will occupy those topographic that for analysis and transformation to many formats. ArcGIS software for analyzing a spatial location and decision making after buffering the delimitation area for computing a number of people will be expropriated with a project AutoCAD CIVIL 3D which will be used to export and draw geometrical element of road which cross section, longitudinal section, plan view, and topographic map of the field. The average elevation of Kiogoro District is 1,000 m above the sea level. Mount Kisii, the highest point in Kisii, has an elevation of 1,853m and the highest spot in Mageragere Sector has an elevation of 1,810 m. Due to such hilly topography coupled with large scale deforestation, soil erosion and landslides in the District are key recurrent problems faced by the City, which requires adequate soil protection measures to address this issue. Focused on the analysis of finding, our objectives was successfully achieved and showed that the existing road elements do not meet the standard road design to be used due to its damages which are lack of drainage system and other items listed in this work. With design of geometrical element of Misibya- |Mwembe site in Kiogoro district, Kisii sectorasphalt makes the road usable in good conditions and if its maintenance is well done; handle travelling treats for users will achieve. For earthworks quantities, entered data in technical mapping system come across with a paradox phenomenon which issued by total station that affects of the road project implementation due to the increase of earthworks computation varied according to the use of different cross sectional intervals. The construction of this road is important to the Misibya- |Mwembe site. Although a high rate of development in this site, there still problems caused by inappropriate road designed which are inhibit access to social facilities and commercial activities.

Effect of teenage pregnancy on school performance on secondary school girls in nyacheki ward in nyamache sub county
Teenage pregnancy is a world disaster, and it has become a major concern to both developing and developed countries all over the world. Teenage pregnancy cases are very high in Kenya, and it seems to be increasing every day in our schools. It is a concern to all people in Kenya not leaving out politicians who have shown interest over it y coming out through media condemning the act of early pregnancy amongst our teenagers. Childbearing and early pregnancy is common in Kenya. Approximately 25 percent of Kenyan women give birth under the age of 18 years where ate this age children are still in schools and majorly secondary schools. The re-entry act of pregnant girls in the school system is also continuing to get criticized by society. Society discriminated pregnant girls in school and the young mothers who are back in school, for they say that they influence others in the act and promote teenage pregnancy in schools. This adolescent pregnancy continues everyday in schools because, after every school break, not less than three girls come back to school pregnant, so the question goes, who is responsible for these pregnancies? Are parents not watching over their children or schools should introduce another law that restricts girls in school? Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the impact of teenage pregnancy in the Nyacheki ward in Kisii County. A total sample of 50 respondents was used for the study. Questionnaire; observation and interview were used to collect data for the research. Looking at the effects often age pregnancy, it is clear that the girls face stigmatization, ridicule, and neglect from parents and teachers' abuse. The study also reveals that teenage pregnancy has a great effect on education and affects the girls' future and the economic development of a country. It also revealed that adolescent pregnancy also contributes to girls' poor performance in school and final exams. The study also showed that most underage mothers terminate their education for fear of shame, stigmatization, and ridicule from the school and society and being rated as ill-mannered children. The study also discover that the environment and media had a significant impact on early pregnancy among girl students in high schools. The study therefore suggests that teenage mothers should be given another chance in life. We should not judge them because others got it through rape and assault. They should be counselled by their guidance and counseling teacher to give them strength and hope of continuing with education and getting bright future. Counseling will also help in their job skills and psychosocial development that will help them after their schooling and life ahead.
