Wayua's Grand Opening!

By Diana Richardson | Executive Director

Hello friends! Here is an exciting update! Over the past few months, Wayua has been anxiously searching for a suitable shop for her new tailoring and dressmaking business. Makindu Children's Program staff have advised her on the importance of foot traffic and visibility for her business, and have been encouraging her to wait for the "right shop" to become available. We are pleased to report that Wayua has found an ideal location with reasonable rent.

She will spend this weekend in Nairobi accompanied by MCC staff to purchase all necessary equipment and materials to open her shop. Nairobi prices are much less than rural Kenya. Wayua will set up her shop next week, and plans to open the first week in March.

Thank you so very much for giving Wayua this opportunity and empowerment to succeed on her own. She is extremely grateful for your support, and we are all so proud of her determination!
