Message from ICFD

We are sending this message of goodwill to this project which seeks to empower impoverished Kenyan women from Kibera. For too long this segment of the vibrant working population has been unduly marginalized. Their economic and social circumstances must be changed and their voices heard

We at ICfD are willing to support any and every worthy cause to make a difference in Kibera.

Women Self Help Group in Nairobi, Kibera in Africa

I have been assigned to work as team leader of a women self help group in Kibera with five volunteers. These women need economic independence since that they are Located in Nairobi, Kibera the largest urban slum in Africa, where food, clothing and shelter is a great challenge to their existence.

The overall goal of the project is to enable each self help group to work towards creating and selling traditional jewellery and handicrafts from Kenya. 

We need you to make a small contribution to these women by buying their produce for only US$5.00. Images of some of these produce and more information about women in Nairobi can be seen clicking the links in the labels section of this post.
