    Grace is a single mum and nightclub dancer who dreams of being a star. She's looking for a rich "sponsor" - AKA sugar daddy - who can fund her dream of making it as a singer. But is there such a thing as easy money? Watch all 3 of our "Sugar" films now: http://bit.ly/africaeyesugar pic.twitter.com/UBOv7yPoL0

    Sex and the sugar daddy
    In Kenya, more and more young women are using sugar daddies to fund a lifestyle worth posting on social media.

        Can BBC air what happens in Amsterdam and London? Young women more so mothers only need a surportive environment to live dignified lives.When you stigmatize and condemn them you destroy a generation.
