The Basket Ladies

The women in the adult literacy groups in Tharaka have been among the most successful in basket making. Because of their strong community values and support system, they are thriving. Many have been able to open shops, repair their homes, and pay for healthcare. Several have also reported a reduction in gender-based violence.

Tharaka Nithi is very dry. the rains have been unpredictable and farming has been difficult. MGS provides the women with Maize and Beans on a regular basis until the rains stabilize and farming can resume.

We provide solar lamps for all the makers. We believe that simple things solve big problems. These simple yet powerful solar lamps not only help the women work at night, but they also provide a source of light for the children to study. In addition, the women can charge their phones from their homes. 

Solar Lamps for All

We sometimes forget how important our feet are! These women will often walk ten or more kilometers per day. It's amazing how a pair of good walking shoes can make such a difference in the way you go about your day.

Collecting water can take hours out of the day. Many women have to walk up to four hours per day with heavy gerry cans on their backs. We provide the women with water tanks and gutters so that they can store water in their homes.
