Seventeen years ago, John Migeni, 42, from Nyando left his job as a tailor after a series of frustrations at his workplace to venture into self employment.

Thinking of what businesses he could do, Migeni settled on weaving mats using water reeds popularly known as togo (papyrus) among the Luo community.
