Veronica – Graduate

“Before this course, I was just sitting at home. Now I’m running my own business and making an income every day.” – Veronica Achieng Okango, Kisumu County

“I learnt about the pastry and bakery course from my sister, who I live with. At the time, I had no job and no income. The course opened my eyes — I learnt how to bake cakes, make samosas, and so many other things I didn’t know. It helped me so much that I started a business before I even graduated. I borrowed Sh.1,000 from a friend and began making mandazis. Now I’ve expanded to cakes and other items, and I make between Sh.400 and Sh.600 every day. I feel proud, empowered, and independent.”
