For three years Maureen has been working as a documentary photographer with the Kenyan-based non-profit POHK.org, a micro-enterprise and women's empowerment project in the Nairobi slum of Kibera, Kenya. Amidst the obvious obstacles of extreme poverty, she was nevertheless inspired by the resilience of the residents and couldn't help but see the ties that bind us together: work, community, family ties, friendship, cooperation, love, and joy.
