A Kenyan woman and her three kids are living in despondency after her husband who lives in diaspora flew them to Kenya for holiday and stealthily left without their knowledge. Susan Mwangi and her husband live in the US but on this particular day, the cunning man flew them back home (Kenya) on the premise that they were coming for holidays. The holidays began but after a few days, the man stealthily flew back to the US, leaving behind Susan and the kids without anything. 

She came to learn of the incident when she called her neighbours in the US who confirmed her husband had flown back. Since Susan and the kids were left with nothing, they have been suffering in Kenya. 

However, a group of Kenyan women in the diaspora known as KWITU has come together to raise funds for Susan to return to the US and continue with her life normally. 

KWITU recently set up a Go fund me the account where Kenyan ladies in US and Canada are raising the funds. “KWITU ladies, as you all know what predicament happened to one of our sister, who was abandoned by her spouse back home in Kenya after going home for a family vacation with the kids. She and her 3 children were left behind unawares and are still stuck in Kenya and in desperate need of financial support. On behalf of my myself and all KWITU colleagues, we are pleading with you for monetary assistance to enable her and kids return to the USA to continue with life smoothly,” a post on the account reads.
