Why Kenya women are investing in WIIE

When two friends Tess Kariuki and Wanjiru Macharia decided to have weekly coffees last year to catch-up and chart the future, nobody could have known that their discussion would lead to a social business that has captured the hearts and minds of Kenya's women.

You see Tess and Wanjiru are truly your average Kenyan women. Both in their late twenties. Both single mothers. Both grew up outside of Nairobi. Both have been through the bloodsport that is surviving as a single woman in the big city and that is why their innovation has suprised many.
