A day in the life of Kenyan women

I feel really sorry when I think about the life of Kenyan women.There is no meaning of life for them.They face alot of obstacles in life.

Imagine if your main dream is to find work to get enough food to feed your children every day and if you don't find work you will be unable to feed your kids. It's really sad. Kenyan women's main objective or wish is not to provide clothes or fulfill other needs of their kids but they just dream of finding a job that gives them enough food for every day.What will be the life if you have to go out every day to find a job to feed your kids and your kids sleep hungry when you don't get work.

Kenyan women are very hard working. They get up before sun rising. After praying they start working from their home tasks.They and their children don't have any breakfast and with empty stomach they leave their home for searching jobs. Even their kids have to find some small jobs too, like sweeping warehouse floors, or carrying goods on their headsThey just have one meal in a day in the evening.They have very little to eat.They are happy when they get job to buy food. They feel sad when they don't find any work.They don't have any hope for better future becaus without food and money it isn't possible to have hope for better future.

In the evening they go back home, and sleep on the floor on a mat and cover themselves with their cloths. They don't have any time to rest except night.They have fear their kids will become street children and then bandits.They are scared for their health.They have to go far away to bring water and it's really very hard if you don't have any mean to carry the weight.

When we think all about this the question which comes in mind is, what is the meaning of life for those women who spend their whole day just in searching food for their kids and have fear in their minds whether they will be able to take food to home for their kids or not who are waiting for their mother with empty stomach.Is this a life?

When we talk about present digital age and on the other hand alot of people like these Kenyan women have been passing this kind of worse and painful life, its really very pethatic and unbelieveable that if we have all the facilities of life then why theyare deprived of even basic necessities of life? What is life for them? Will they ever haveany happiness in life? when this time will come that they won't have to leave their home every day for searching jobs to feed their kids? will they be able to live fearless and happy life?
