About me
Caren Akeyo is 78 years old. She was never able to have biological children. Her husband passed away in 2014, and since then she has lived alone, facing life in deep isolation. Her living conditions are extremely poor, and the lack of basic necessities has made each day increasingly difficult.
In her community, cultural beliefs often marginalize women who do not have children. Childlessness is wrongly viewed as a curse, leaving women like Caren overlooked and excluded.
Today, Caren lives in severe poverty. Securing even one meal a day is a constant struggle. Yet she remains hopeful, praying each morning that a new day will bring relief, dignity, and the chance for a better life.
