I am a Jua Kali man giving big brands a run for their money

He was a simple man making a simple living in the blue-collar industry; Jua kali to be specific. But focus and vision propelled him to where he is today. What started as a simple initiative by Stephen Obewo aimed at tapping into the rapidly growing construction industry has started paying off for the jua kali artisan in Siaya County. Stephen did not imagine that his small venture manufacturing nails, barbed wires, chain links and fencing wires would grow rapidly. The 43-year old CEO of Nambole Traders Company which has over 30 employees is changing the region one nail at a time. He shares his journey that began one year ago.
