    An exploration of the experiences of divorced Muslim women in Kibera: its implications for the Redeemed Christian Church of God Mission
    (2014-04-09) Obasike, Esther
    This study explores the experiences of divorced Muslim women in Kibera and its implications for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) mission to the Muslim women in Kibera. A qualitative research design employing phenomenology tradition was used for the study. Data was collected using face-to-face open-ended interviews that were recorded and transcribed. I used moderate participant observation to build rapport with the informants. The findings revealed that Islam as an ideology differs hugely from its practice. Seven themes emerged to explain divorce experiences for the mothers and their children. There is a lot of interwovenness between Isla and culture. More so, the status accorded to Muslim women is an underlying factor behind their unpalatable experiences in divorce. Based on findings, divorced Muslim women are in dire need of true and meaningful relationship. This provides an excellent platform for their evangelization. The RCCG Kibera must engage in a holistic ministry in meeting their felt needs.
