Women from Nyamira County have been asked to register with Maendeleo Ya Wanawake Organisation (MYWO) so that they can have 'numerical' strength to fight against discrimination.
Speaking to the press on Wednesday at Nyamira town, county MYWO chairperson, Mary Orwenyo said only 200 women have so far registered in the ongoing registration and pleaded with other women to join the organisation.
"We as women have been left behind for a long time and it is now time to come together, not in any other way other than registering joining MYWO," she said.
Orwenyo said they will have a fundraising to enable women in the county get empowered economically through acces to credit.
"We will have a funds drive 0n Friday this week so that we can be empowered as women of Nyamira county," she revealed.
Her deputy, Jerusha Momanyi said the main challenge women in the county go through is low incomes.
She said through the organisation, women will be required to start Saccos to enable them get funds and start businesses.
