Flora Gacheri, a 40-year-old woman living with a physical disability in Meru County, spent years fighting an uphill battle—raising six dependents on less than $50 a month through a small soap-making business that barely kept her family afloat. With no business skills, every shilling she earned vanished into rent, food, and school fees. Growth seemed impossible.
Then came a turning point. Through the Boresha Maisha ya Mama Mlemavu project, Flora received business training that changed everything. She learned bookkeeping, marketing, and customer care—and put those lessons into action with heart and determination.
Today, Flora’s monthly income has more than tripled. She produces high-quality soaps, supplies schools, and has even expanded into banana-selling and farming. She now pays for her medication, supports her grandchildren’s education, and proudly owns a dairy goat—a symbol of her rising independence.
Flora’s story is not just about profit—it’s about dignity, hope, and the power of opportunity. With your support, more women like Flora can turn their lives around.
