An odd contest for a better future

Add to Cart

A group of women convene for a kitty contribution meeting.

Their community is facing a lot of drought related challenges, so these women have joined forces in groups of twenty to twenty-five.

They know the drought is going to last for a while, so each person puts in a small amount of money, from twenty to one hundred Kenyan shillings, into a shared fund. This way, they can buy important things, especially food like sugar.

They really value sugar because they think it gives them and their kids the energy they need, even when they can't have regular meals. By helping each other and being resourceful, these women are trying to support themselves and their families during the ongoing drought.
