In Kenya over 80 percent of the food is produced by women, yet they
are prevented by tradition from inheriting land and passing it on to
their daughters. Women who now work outside the home sometimes
band together as a group to enable them to buy land . They want it as
security for their children . . . but then it is left to the sons . Change has
been occuring - perhaps there will be a change for their daughters.
