A MOMAN'S FORTUNE

IN KISUMU TOWN, there was a woman whose husband was working in on of the big firms. In the year 2006, the husband died and the woman was left helpless and childless. She decided to to start up a small business which could help her sustain herself in life.
She was selling vegetables along the road for three good years until one day some whites from Europe working at UNEP saw her and went and interviewed her.
After the interview, she was given Ksh. 300,000 by the people. She could not imagine what had happened to her. So there was a time when she decided to to open up a small kiosk. This kiosk grew into a supermarket within two years and now this woman who was helpless found herself self-employed and her gratitude goes to UNEP for making her who she is to date.
