Catherine Wangui, a 28-year-old mother in Nairobi\u2019s Kibera settlement, knows what it means to fight for a future. Forced to drop out of school at Form Two due to poverty, she spent years doing odd jobs\u2014just trying to survive.<\/p>\n
Through heartbreak, relocation, and the loss of her first business during Kenya\u2019s post-election violence, Catherine never gave up. Today, she runs a small general shop\u2014just 36 square feet\u2014packed with household goods and big dreams.<\/p>\n
With support from her women\u2019s savings group Sacred Heart<\/em>, and training through the WEZESHA JAMII<\/strong> project, Catherine has turned her life around. She now pays school fees for her daughter and younger siblings, supports her family, and inspires other women to start their own businesses.<\/p>\n Her dream? To grow into a wholesale shop, create jobs, and help her group buy land for safe, dignified homes.<\/p>\n \u201cThis project gave us skills\u2014not handouts. Now, we have a future.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n With your support, more women like Catherine can rewrite their stories.
