Dorcas Rigathi sheds tears for Migori widows ‘selling’ their bodies for food: Addressing religious leaders from Kilifi County on Thursday, Wife to DP Rigathi was overwhelmed with emotion as she spoke of widows who she said were forced to ‘sell’ their bodies in exchange for food for their children.
Pastor Dorcas recalled her recent tour of Migori County where some of the widows she now supports told her of what they go through to feed their children.
“ I was in Migori, a widow is ‘selling’ her body to feed her child. And we still talk about religion. Just ask yourself if that was your mother doing that to feed you, to pay your school fees. We have to go beyond religion and get them out of this mess. “She said.
She called on religious leaders from both the Muslim and Christian communities to help improve the lives of these widows and other vulnerable people in their areas.
Pastor Dorcas urged religious leaders to open their places of worship to the boychild on the street as one way of improving their livelihood.
She has been on a week-long working tour of Kilifi County in her programmes targeting vulnerable people in the society including the boychild, widows and people with disabilities.
