The Kenyan family has undergone a lot of changes as a result of
social and economic changes in the wider society. The change is
better understood in the historical perspective starting with the
migration.
In the Kenyan rural areas women now find themselves playing the role of
sole providers for their families. In a setting where poverty thrives, the
women experience is varied.
The study here attempted to understand and analyse these experiences.
In chapter I, the background to the study is given, statement of the
problem, objectives of the study, justification and scope of the study.
Chapter 2 is a review of the literature material that relates to the topic,
theoretical framework and hypotheses while chapter three gives the research
design and methodology used in the work. In chapter 4, research findings, data
analysis and presentation is brought out while the summary and recommendations
are in chapter 5. The bibliography and the relevant appendices are available at
the end of this paper.
