| dc.description | In this paper a wide range of women's groups are discussed which
were active in Nakuru in 1974. A number of informal associations such as
social and discussion groups, mutual aid or welfare societies, rotating savings
groups and business-oriented associations are discussed briefly. Then five
formally registered associations, whose explicit purpose was co-operative
economic activity, are discussed in more detail. Finally, some of the basic
attitudes and patterns of behaviour which seem to underlie many of the activities
of these groups are described, as well as the economic and political environment
in which they operate and some of the formidable difficulties which they
encounter and in some cases overcame.
An example is given of how government officers and agencies can faster
and protect women's groups at all stages of their development. Yet the most
important stimulus for the growth of women's groups and the surest protection
of their interests lie in the determination of the women themselves. | |
