Independent Lens | Jane Ngori Turns a House into a Home in Kenya | PBS

Duration: 07:37
Program: Independent Lens #102
Broadcast Date: Oct. 1, 2012

Olivia Wilde and Nicholas Kristof arrive at Kaputei, some 60 KM from Nairobi to see the housing community set up by Jamii Bora. They are both initially skeptical about what this area can provide since it is so far for the women to travel to earn a living. However, after seeing Jane Ngori's house and celebrating her son Moses's 9th birthday, they change their minds.
