We first arrived at ABC centre in Kariobangi and their social workers took us to the homes of the women. As we walked around, it was an experience taking in every bit of the slums, the smells of the trash, latrine water, and street cooking. Amidst the stares and shouts towards me as a foreigner, and Asian foreigner at that. That is a rare sight to see in that area.
The women we went to visit were all welcoming as we crowded around their humble little homes. It was a pleasure and honor to see where they live. Below are the stories of two ladies that we visited.
After she welcomed us into her home and introduced us to several of her children, I can already tell she has a big heart. She will be joining the sewing training program next week. I am excited to get to know her even more.
This is Lydia Wangari. She lives in the Kariobangi area with her three children. Her youngest two kids do their schooling at ABC centre. Lydia will be in the James 127 Foundation's jewelry training program.
Upon gaining the beadwork skills, Lydia has high hopes for her future. She would like to help the needy and her family to live a better life.
