Just a few years ago, Antonine was destitute, living under a tree on the small parcel of land in southwest Kenya, not far from the shores of Lake Victoria. Her house once stood there.

KELIN, through the Cultural structures programme, successfully negotiated on her behalf and her in-laws agreed to let her back on the land. Just like Antonine, there are dozens more women and children who still need homes.
