We are holding a fund raising dinner and evening of musical entertainment
to raise money to free imprisoned women and children in Nakuru Kenya.
Women
in Nakuru are often imprisoned for committing small offenses such as
selling vegetable in the market without a proper license. If a woman is
imprisoned, her children must go in as well. There are between 300-400
women prisoners in Nakuru--at least half are in for not being able to
pay small fines. About half of their children die in prison as a result
of poor food, little medicine etc.
Through Impact nations, a NGO
reaching the poorest of the poor around the world, we CAN make a
difference. Impact nations has partnered with a local pastor from
Nakuru, Mike Brawan, who is working with the counsel of Nakuru to
ensure that each woman released from prison is given at least a 6
months license to carry out the business for which she was originally
imprisoned.
So how much does it cost to free a woman and her children from this injustice?
$88.00 to free one woman and her children
