After Beatrice Nyamu lost her job due to the negative effects of Covid-19 on companies, she took a deep dive into business.

Briefly introduce yourself. My name is Beatrice Nyamu and I have a diploma in Mass Communication from the Technical University of Mombasa. I have worked as a journalist and as an admin assistant. I am passionate about learning new skills and I have completed a number of short training courses on how to make icecream, ice pops, yoghurt, shaggy mats, pastry and bakery.

Why did you venture into training others instead of making the products? You see, my background as a journalist has helped me put together well illustrated training manuals and ebooks with various recipes, step by step, and business plans. I love to mentor women and youth from low income and rural areas to realise their potential, be empowered and learn how to make money through skill acquisition. I also love to coach people about success in life, hardwork, discipline and changing mindsets from fear to faith. Besides, I also love mentoring people from employment to self-employment and teach people how to start their own business even with the little money they may have. This is what motivated me to consider training others rather than making the products myself.
