The first group of mums who moved onto their own land in August are continuing very well. There has been a lot of rain in Kinangop recently, a little too much for the potatoes, but otherwise the mums are managing their plots of land well. When we visited last week every mum's land was full of maize, beans, peas and potatoes. Wahu is also growing some coriander to add some extra flavour to her stew. Margaret has bought herself a cow which is a sure sign that she is doing well on her farm, she also rears rabbits and chickens.
On 6th December 2011 a new group of 10 mums moved from Kibera to the community farm in Kinangop to begin the process towards owning their own land. They are now embarking on 'Stage 1', living in community and learning how to farm. There was a real buzz of excitement on moving-day, the mums full of hope for the future and the kids totally loving the fields, football pitch and playground.
