Cleaning cars opens doors and more for shop owner

Nairobi, Kenya: Edward Lukoye is a proud shop owner. As he puts the final shine on each car at the car wash that birthed the shop, Lukoye, 24, from Huruma slums in Nairobi, is focused on greater achievement. His current situation is merely a stepping stone towards his goal.

After completing high school five years ago, Edward did not want to join other hopeless school leavers; he wanted a simple economic activity to help him get a decent income.
