This week we have been working on writing profiles for the micro-business owners we talked with last week. I am quickly learning that some questions do not translate well from English to Swahili, and vice versa, but we're doing our best to decipher handwriting and decode some of the answers:)
Today I talked with Sarah, a mother of two running a water business. Her ultimate business goal is to make enough money to buy her own plant and become a large scale distributor.
Sarah became a widow in 2000 after her husband lost his battle with cerebral cancer. Her strength and determination to save enough money to pay for her children's education, despite the daily struggle to meet the most basic needs, is inspiring. Her hope lies in providing them a better life and opportunities than she ever experienced.
