When searching the internet for something to write about for this post I came across this article that caught my eye. Take a look http://womennewsnetwork.net/ the article from November 18th titled "Sex-workers get second chance at life with microloans in Kenya." Of all people and with the way society is formed with the rich having so much power. It suprised me to see that loans would be given to not just the poor but poor women who work at prostitutes!! I think it is such a great thing but just something very rare to see. Things like this should be done more often around the world. Helping people in need around the world that are putting themselves and their families in risk just to make some form of income!
The article also talks about gender empowerment. With hopes that while providing more opportunities to the women of Kenya that it will allow for them to move up in society. Most of these women too being single mothers raising their children on their own. So I think this would be a great direction for all these sex-workers from Kenya to move in providing them with a better and more hopeful future for them and their families!
Wow, I'm surprised that this is happening. It makes me wonder if other countries would be more rich if they all did this for the poor or even poor prostitutes. This could help these countries boast their economies a little better.
