WIDOWED WOMEN & REFUGEE CAMP SUPPORT: KENYA

The widowed women and Kakuma refugee camp residents are in desperate need to earn an income to provide for their families in the absence of family and spouses. With our partner Fidele, we have been able to provide cash and travel assistance to help support small business ventures for these women. Khot (pictured above) receives regular monthly funding to sustain her small vegetation business. Khot wakes early and visits nearby farms to buy and sell vegetation at her stand in the community of West Turkana, Kenya. This business brings much needed income to Khot and her children, but also brings food to her community that they would otherwise not have due to lack of transportation to neighboring farms and communities.
