• Selling micro insurance to women and youth and less fortunate in the community
• free consultancy &Training on entrepreneurship and financial literacy to women and youth who are members
• Selling of cereals, cooking floor, soap, cooking oil, toilet paper at highly discounted prices to members.
I started this business in Nairobi in the year 2013,This came about when i realized its potential and more especially skills enhancements to the young women and unemployed youth also to bridge gap of additional income to my family and creation of employment to the youth.
