Garissa County, Kenya, February 2018— Habiba, 56, is seated with four other women under a mango tree. Not all the 15 members of GarGar women’s group were able to join them today to share their stories because the farm is located 20 kilometers away from Garissa town, the capital of Garissa County in Northern Kenya.
Habiba’s husband died in 2013 after long illness, leaving her to fend for their 10 children. But just before Habiba’s husband passed, she teamed up with a few other women with similar challenges (ailing spouses, poverty, etc.) to form GarGar women group primarily for income.
