Joining hands as widows

Margaret Kakai lost her husband in 2000. As a widow as well as my sister in-law, i noticed that he was off balance both social and emotionally in as far anything about life was  concerned. The children were all primary school going age with all their needs. Her house too was leaking and only a grass thatched one. In 2004 when she joined mama wajane women the moment of a sign of relief beckoned her. The group has been able to help her emotionally through teachings from professionals that the group invites to speak to them occasionally. The group also gave her money through their contributions and loan to put up a house and to start a fish business(omena). The group has also helped her with financial support on her productivity in farming which enables her to get labour to work on her farm and that she  can get the rigid seed variety then to plant on time.
