Nairobi woman who was photographed pushing a mkokoteni (handcart) last week has since been traced and well-wishers have visited her.

Humanitarian Wanja Mwaura highlighted the story of the woman identified as Everlyn Ndinyuka last week where she asked her online followers to help in locating the woman spotted carrying jerrycans of water in the mkokoteni.

She has since managed to track down the woman and on Monday this week, she visited her alongside other well-wishers.

According to her post on Facebook, Wanja said Ndinyuka lives in a single room with five children.

Two of them are her late sister’s kids, and one is her nephew.

She said that pulling the handcart has taken a toll on Ndinyuka's body and has weakened her body. “As a result, she has severe pain in the back and legs.

It is not her wish to be pulling this cart, but circumstances forced her to do this. She would love to stop pulling this cart given a chance,” Wanja wrote.

“Let us make her life easier n better for the sake of those children who are depending on her.”

The well-wishers managed to pay three months’ rent for her and donated foodstuff to the woman.
