Wanawake wa Kibera wajitegemee

Wanawake Wa Kibera Wajitegemee is an initiative of the local Community Based organization, Wanawake Wajitegemee. The name of this initiative is derived from the Kiswahili words, meaning, Women should be self reliant. The organization was formed with the aim of encouraging women to join self help groups, so that they can benefit from the power of pooling resources. As the Kiswahili proverb says "Kidole Kimoja hakiuwi chawa" meaning "one finger cannot kill lice". This initiative aims help them benefit by collectively pooling resources to pull each other away from their resource poor bases.
