Canadian Volunteers Ali Higgins and Memona Hossain share their account of a visit to a Women’s Empowerment Meeting in Kibera, led by Kijiji Cha Upendo Volunteers.
This is the question that opens the discussion at this particular Women’s Empowerment workshop. Immediately the women proceed to discuss the issue. They speak with confidence, wisdom and insight….
For Ms Whitfield, Kibera was a new experience and an eye opener. The closeness of the buildings, if one could use that term for corrugated iron shacks, and the lack of amenities surprised and disturbed her.
