What Happened to the Housegirls?

BBC Africa Eye's Nancy Kacungira revisits three young women, who left their homes in Uganda to find jobs as domestic workers across the border in Kenya.

Three years ago, BBC Africa Eye's Nancy Kacungira reported on the plight of three young women, Mercy, Scovia and Esther who left their homes in Uganda to find jobs as domestic workers across the border in Kenya.
