NAIROBI, KENYA: Grace Wambere is a wife, a mother, and Chief Executive Officer of Mitumba Chap Chap. Like any ambitious young girl, my thirst for higher education and a better life led me to pack my bags and leave for Germany in search of greener pastures.

First, I enroled for a course in German language for ease of communication then I undertook a degree course in  Information technology at Johan Wolfang Frankfurt University.  I also did abit of hotel management, and enrolled for an internship program in a media company where I learnt branding. I lived in Germany for a total of eight years before coming back to Kenya in 2011.
