Meet Gladys and her children







This is where Gladys stays with her ten children after being displaced from Mt Elgon. The eldest boy (18) is mentally handicapped. The baby is 1 month old. She doesn't know where her husband is now.
She rents this room - initially a church building. The boys sleep in one corner and the girls in another. Another corner is used for cooking. There is no proper toilet! No seats at all - just sacks.
This group of displaced people is about 5km from the Camp visited earlier. There are about 25 families staying around this place.
