Please note that we will be posting extensive descriptions of the lives of people in this remote area of Kenya; in the meantime, enjoy the two biographies below.
I am Carolyn Akinyi. I got married at the age of 14 years after completing my primary school, and I have been married for 10 years.
I joined CWPFG in 2024 and I am a beneficiary of the Natalie Andre Women Entrepreneurship loan/grant. I have benefitted twice: in April and in August. Because I completed repaying the April loan, I qualified for the August loan/grant, and for a slightly higher amount.
I am happy that my small business is doing well and I am optimistic that my loan limit will increase so I can expand my business. I am proud to be a member of the CWPFG group.
=======================
I am Anne Awuor aged 32 years old. I am married in a polygamous family of four women. I have 5 children and my cowives have a total of 16 children, making the entire family to have 21 children.
Our husband does nothing to earn even a single income; we have been struggling to raise our children—looking for food for them to eat, clothes to wear and taking care of them when sick.
I have benefited a lot from CWPFG; from February of 2024 I have been getting free contraceptives and this has helped me a lot.
Through its loan/grant I can testify that I have received the grant twice and now I am engaged in selling vegetables out of which I get some income.
Without CWPFG I could have sunken to a desperate and miserable life forever due to deep poverty. Any support for this program is highly commended. Thanks to all who have sacrificed to support CWPFG; this is indeed a good charity to support.
