I earn Sh4,000 a-week recycling wine bottles, making mats

After I graduated from the University of Embu last year with a BCom Degree, my job search was not successful and I had to find a way of earning a living even as I looked for my dream job.

The inspiration came when I visited a friend and I was impressed by the way he had decorated a wine bottle. He showed me how to do it.
