Chekereni Home Visits

Waiting for the Daladala with some people from Pamoja Tuneweza.

Ramy and I in Chekereni. Enjoying the sun!

Me holding a baby chick. Trying not to think this may be dinner in a few months. I hope this chicken will only be used for its eggs!

These are some kids we met in Chekereni. Their mom is currently in the process of undergoing training at Pamoja Tuneweza, to receive a business loan from the centre.

One family from Chekereni. This woman was interesting to talk to, and was very motivated to receive a loan to help her family. Can you see a resemblance in the kids? They were all so cute!

Our ride on the Daladala to visit the small town of Chekereni. It is not too packed right now ... one ride we counted 27 people jammed into the bus. They always say, the Daladala is never full!

Here are a few pictures from when we have done some home visits in the local community of Chekereni. We visited the woman to ask questions about their current business and future business plans, and about their state of health and life situation. These women have undergone business training through the Pamoja Tuneweza Women's Centre, and they are hoping to receive a loan to start a new business. It was interesting to visit such a small community, and begin to get a sense of their way of life, their struggles, and how they all support each other through all of this.
