The Women of Koch In one of the most feared and dangerous slums in all of Kenya live 11 courageous women with their 30 children. From the corrugated walls of their hot tin shanties with earthen floors these women have come together in the search of hope. They have formed their own community of support, the “Women of KOCH” and have received microloans from Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB) to start their own businesses of selling coal, vegetables, biscuits and crafts to their neighbors along the dirt alleyways of this area, known as Korogocho.

At first they were benefiting greatly by generating an income to support their families and community.
