Thank you very much for letting us know what is going on in Africa! It is so sad what happens there! Harassment bye their husband, poor pay, barely making through the day, hungry sooo sad!!!!!! It is awesome that you are doing this!!!!!

Despite all she has to go through, it's insipiring how she seems to have hope to get her through the days.

its will be a wonder if the kids grow up to be decent without the care of parents (one working aka the mom, and another just missing aka the father). Without proper guidance since young, it is not hard to imagine them growing up without proper values

[LIONvsPANTHER]

...why bring kids into a world that you know you can not provide just the basics needs for? Its the same story all over (in the slums especially) Ok one is ok but to go on having more sorry I don't get it. Though it might sound, if the so call CHARITIES/CHURCHES take just the simple steps (mobilization of educating women), it will make no difference in these places but instead they (CHARITIES/CHURCHES) get big salaries and daily allowances . THIS IS MY OPINION. I SUPPORT A REALLY GOOD CHARITY

[LIONvsPANTHER]

Thanks for sharing your video but what I really think/opinion, is that charities should also focus on educating women about safer sex i.e using condoms and other ways of preventative methods. This will not only help the rate of birth control, but also help stop with the spreed of aids Until this is done, more and more babies are going to be born... regardless. Its a facts that the burden is all on the woman but why do they still allow themselves?....

I find her beautiful somehow. I find myself ugly at the same time.
