Notes:
It's good journalism because it brings attention to one of the many little known problems that affect developing countries. It is, however, very human interest oriented, and lacks the kind of macro factual information that would make it more solid.
Comment:
One more example of how institutions run by men ignore the problems and potential of women.
Notes:
As a journalist and someone who grew up in rural Kenya I understand the importance of such a story. It seems to me that the reporter sought knowledge from someone who understands Kenya. Although the story is about hunger, it is done in a way that is not demeaning or presents Africans as desperate beings.

Although African men often take credit for our success, our mothers are the real champions. Even mothers who had little education take great risks to ensure children remain in school.
