While barely out of her teens, Susan Kaitanny would approach the men and women of the highland town where she was pursuing a university education to sell them airline tickets.

“I was in Eldoret and I didn’t want to party with my peers. I wanted to start a business, and a travel agency sounded like a good idea. But it was like selling a dream to the farming population. There was no proper airline back then, and the town only got one incoming flight a day,” she says.
