Story
I have listened to your video on ambassadors
For one,I am a man and I do not think you would offer--to me, it would be okey with me.
i AM AN AMBASSADOR FOR LITERACY---World Literacy Foundation and over years had fought for women rights in
MY WRITING WIDELY---
during the month of September,2021, I managed to travel to masaai land all across to Namanga, a town boarders Kenya with Tanzania this is Kajiado District where men are headers and country is ever dry
Currently, right now, the women in this community are left behind by men to take care of children with no food or even water,traveling a far to find water.This is common.
While there, I told my cousin what this community needs.
THEY NEED PROPER HOMESTEADS
THE NEED WATER NEAR THEM
Education is another factor with health education ect.
On other side there need to educate this people on early marriages together with FGM
this is all a matter of creating a public AWARENESS
I KNOW THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO WORK ON IT
AFTER STAYING HERE FOR FOUR DAYS I am aware of their problems--------say a few
and I promised to go back and train them how to start a merry going group that may help them--women--
to be moving once a month ,donate something small every time one woman after the other
and with this one can be able to able to Do something with some shillings in hand
Years ago I helped Kanjeru self help group, and my mother and other mothers managed to help themselves
with --
Raising school fees for their kids
Daily keeping --a cow or two and
poultry keeping-------
Upend0 women group is another women group I am involved in.
These women believe I am one of them,I started with for----- the group When my mother passed away,they took me as their member to continue with holding my mother"s
share
WE help one another by donating some money
We offer help when a given member of a family passes away
Donate during our children wedding---ect
This women are always active because of them go for merry go round table banking
That is saving some money which in the next move they loan to a few of them.Training this women is no longer an issue to me since young mothers are now joining but They pay a huge memberships so as to be on same level while sharing------I trained them on how to save in bank, to register with the government offices and so on---i WILL NEED A WOMEN MEMBER IN THE TEAM
As a man training young women is getting for they think some people are out to sell them to donors which is a lie Now ,they consult me if need be and I do not have voting power of electing the officials IF A LOAN IS TAKEN paying back with interest IS A MUST WIT INTEREST. I think of going back to kajiado and help THE YOUNG WOMEN THERE ------- try to come with this as a program
women empowering is getting difficult with Covi-19 taking every thing women have been doing and although a lot had been achieved we need to continue fighting hard like women, opendo group,still surviving in and ALL tides
