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.

effects of compensation and benefit package on employees’ turnover and job satisfaction at Equity Bank, Nairobi , Kenya- hrm research project
The purpose of this research was to assess the effects of compensation and benefit package on employees’ turnover and job satisfaction at Equity Bank, Nairobi , Kenya . To achieve this objective, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 91 employees who were selected using simple random sampling technique. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data from employees of Equity Bank working in the Head office. Once the data were collected, they were coded, edited, and analyzed. The major findings indicated that in Equity Bank there are different compensation packages such as salary, transport allowance, hardship allowance, telephone allowance, etc. The bank is good at providing annual leave. However, it is weak in the following benefit packages: providing food and beverage to its employee, establishing employee clubs and implementing weak talent management practices, this means the existence of ineffective, redundant and not carrier related training practices. On the other hand, there are different other major problems. Employees do not participate in compensation and benefit decision-making process. Additionally, poor work environment and work culture prevail at the bank. These all may decrease job satisfaction and increase staff turnover. It can then be concluded that most of the respondents were not satisfied with the existing compensation and benefit packages because of the aforementioned reasons. Finally, the all findings lead to the thought that Equity Bank S.C. has to review its current compensation and benefit package in order to retain employees for long period of time (decrease turnover) and increase their job satisfaction.
