It was 2014 one afternoon, I was going to take my children from school. I was looking at her and the children, anytime I am passing there. One day I decided to
stop and walk to her and find out why she is sitting there with these two children, as I walk to them I greeted the woman looks like she does not want to respond. Because of her reaction I couldn’t go further to ask more questions. I always see people bringing things to her but the things they were receiving was very small to be in that kind of sun. I did not ask how much she ends but I know it was not anything that could make them stay in that kind of sun. To my own observation I realize poverty and culture that has drive them to that place. Nothing was wrong with these children and their mother and always their are there. when you see what people give them it is not something to keep a person in that kind of place , sun win was all blowing on this kids. This children were exposed to a lot of things. I said to myself if I have I will let this woman stay home and tell me how much she needs a month to take care of this children and I will provide. I told myself something has to be done to stop this children and their mothers on the streets. I was waiting to get job in other to help me carry this duty very well but things could not happen as I thought but I still insist to do something to prevent others from coming out of the street. I begin to voice out to people for support to help solve these problem
This is how the initiative came about
In 2015 I went to town to do something when I was coming back, I past through central town where I saw them plenty over there. I said plenty because I couldn’t count them there were many. People use to call that place barimansi line. There I interview few of them and the story I had was amazing and still send me back to what I already said that is nothing but poverty and culture.
