While the article does not discuss the impact of this situation on the children of these mothers, we know that we must help the mothers and their children.

No mother should be prostituted and we need to help those who prostituted and their children to find safety.

- KENYA: Bangaisha na Mzungus - youth, sex and tourism on the Kenyan coast (February, 2007). Stories like these are what drive us at Global Health Promise to do our work. We do this because no mother should be prostituted to feed her child.
