Umoja group located at Karanja reaching out to community members at this difficult and most challenging times.
Thanks to all our UK partners and friends for this aid.

After meeting our members, today we were out paying their businesses a visit.

Some have set up businesses to solve community challenges like selling of water, public toilets and showers even as they earn a living from them. Amazing.

All the businesses we went to are really great and we wish them well as they look forward to expand them.
