Street Mothers Learn to Work

A STREET MOTHER LEARNS A SKILL

One of the young mothers -- Millicent Adhiambo -- got the chance to learn hairdressing at the Narcisse Salon for a month. The owner is Nargis Manji, who has been a great friend to Made in the Streets. Five of the young women who have been through MITS - Caroline Wanjiru, Catherine Ndetwa, Riziki Asha, Jane Wangare and Pauline Zainabu - are working for Nargis now. She has sent two of them to the Revlon Beauty Institute for advanced training.  Nargis took it upon herself to train Millicent, who is pictured with Nargis here.   It was something she enjoyed. Next week we will send Francis Cugia for training.

In this picture she is being taught how to mix hair chemicals as Nargis observes.

Millicent applies the chemicals she has mixed.
