Home spun, hand knitted by rural women in Kenya

Women typically do not have the same rights as men within the society and have limited access to land ownership. Women are also the backbone of the home and are required to juggle domestic duties and agricultural work – sowing, weeding and harvesting crops, but also caring for the children and elderly within the family, making food for their families and collecting firewood and water. In effect the women do a lot of unpaid work around their homes.
