Description

Woman that are members of a cooperative group that uses oxen for plowing land, a job traditionally performed by men, at their fields in rural Kenya. The women use the oxen as an income generating activity, a project supported by DSW (Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevoelkerung). The women use the income generated to have some financial independence and not rely on their husband, when spending money on their health and education for their children. This income also helps them when deciding on family planning options. The group also gathers regularly to discuss sexual reproductive health, and family planning options.
