      Hey, I've reached out to Nelson our filmmaker in Kenya that made this and I'll get back to you about that

      So you can send money to our PayPal and Nelson will get her your money, they usually use western union and other more complicated money transfer systems so this is the best way we thought of.

    This is so sad. I can't watch anymore. Mad props to this woman for trying taking care of her kids to the best of her ability. And getting them a TV to provide some type of entertainment in their life can be the difference between sanity and insanity, life and death. A life with no joy can quickly become not worth living. May she create the life her and her children deserve.
    PS A very wise woman said a woman who cannot control her fertility, cannot control her life. Seeing this woman struggle to support four children drives home that message to me.

    The boy that they showed in the video who I assume is her son is old enough to help his mom and should to make more of what she makes. That would help her out a lot so that one day she will get her dream of retiring and living on the hill side.

    They need to form a co op to get some sort of town planning. Family planning would be a good thing too . This lady has given birth to a lifetime of poverty.
