New York Times columnist Nicholas D. Kristof wrote about Jane Ngoiri from Kenya last week. Jane, a 38-year-old mother of three, was pushed out of her marriage when she was pregnant with her second child. Her husband took a second wife, as polygamy is common for Christians as well as Muslims in Kenya. With small children, no home and no money, Jane turned to prostitution to survive.

Kenya's Largest Microfinance Organization

Jane Ngoiri lived in Mathare, one of the most dangerous slums in Nairobi, where crime and despair rule. Her life changed with the help of a a group called Jamii Bora, formed initially by fifty "street beggars". "Jamii Bora" means "good families" in Swahili. The antipoverty organization provides training for entrepreneurs, a sobriety campaign to cut down on alcoholism and a housing-program to help slum dwellers move to the suburbs. The group forced Jane to save some money and after she learned how to sew, she used her savings to buy a sewing machine.
