Coca-Cola has facilitated 500 women from Nairobi's slums to start small businesses, as part of its 5by20 global commitment to empower five million women entrepreneurs across the company's value chain by 2020.
The firm has provided free business skills training and an ice-box to each of the women to set up Coca-Cola outlets. The women were drawn from various slums in Nairobi. It is part of the International Women's Day celebrations.
