Hope was the only thing Asunta Muthoni held on to as she woke up each morning to head to the market where she sold second-hand clothes in Nakuru town. Although she scored an A-minus in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), the future seemed bleak, as she didn’t know where her college fees would come from to enable her pursue her dream career: Civil engineering.

She felt lonely and out of place at the busy and noisy market, but she patiently waited for her Sh4,000 salary at the end of the month.
