Available options to secure your child’s future
When Cathy Karen was born, her father was optimistic he would buy her an insurance cover that would guarantee her good education. However, while Karen’s cover ended smoothly in 2010 after 25 years, her father feels itchy about advising anyone going for a similar product. Peter Odongo, the father, says when he bought the cover, not…
The substitute – baby formula
Why didn’t anyone ever tell me?’ is a constant thought for new parents who rightfully feel overwhelmed by the newness of everything and the responsibility of feeding their new baby.

No one had warned me how hard it would be. As a doctor, I had read about it,…
