WIDOWS EMPOWERMENT

Widows from three subcounties in Kisii County have met to chart a way forward on their myriad challenges facing them through an initiative that is meant to transform their lives. At least 500 widows from Bomachoge Borabu, Bomachoge Chache, and Bobasi constituencies converged at the Igorera grounds in Bombaba Borabu Ward to launch a sacco dubbed 'Jalia Africa and Child' through which they can be assisted from any quarters. Addressing the press during the event, which was organized by teachers from the locality yesterday on, ee widow, Ema Kemunt, who is also the secretary of the sacco, said they intended to use the movement to empower themselves to carry out various projects, including farming and livestock production, among others.
