Here is her story:

Hi Everyone, I would like to ask for your help to take my business to the next level. I set up a small business.about 8 months ago focusing on distribution of Organic Fortified Soy Powder Products including Soy Milk, Rice Milk, Fortified Porridges in the Kenyan and East African Market. Our products are categorized specifically to target general consumer market and specific products for Humanitarian and Government agencies in the management of malnutrition, low immunity, body wastage and provision of foods fortified with essential micronutrients.

We have finished the set up and making of the initial contacts and the reception from the two markets has been positive. Uptake at the retail stores has started picking up with three local stores on board which we anticipate will open doors to the 5 major supermarket chains taking in our products. We have held studies with the government approved research body in Kenya for acceptability of our porridge and the results sent out to the agencies with over 80% acceptance.
However we need to Rebrand and repackage our products to meet our local market based on the market survey/Dip Study and the recommendations from the acceptability studies. This include Rebranding the package for the two target groups including instructions for use to local language. Repackaging in appropriate SKU’s. We currently have only one SKU for each as provided by the manufacturer Introducing of different flavors as we currently have only one flavor Vanilla and yet the products have different flavors. This is going to cost us and we felt that it is important to get the basics and look for the most cost effective way including buying our own packaging machines to repackage into different weights locally, design and print the packaging materials locally, introduce the products into the market officially through cost effective ways focusing more on social media as the main avenue, and visibility through posters and fliers.
Thank you very much and i look forward to your support.

This campaign is to start a store. Not just a regular store but a women made, women run, women inspired community store. It is a place where women can bring in their items to sell and be proud financial contributors to their homes.

We have all seen those baby bows, candles, baskets, crochet blankets, paintings and items made by great mom artist at flea markets and community events. Well here is a store where the women in my community can bring in their items and showcase them all year round.

Here is the amazing format:

1 – Moms bring their items to the shop

2 – We charge one flat fee to cover store cost

3 – They keep full profits

4 – They contribute to the financial balance of their homes and proudly serve their communities.

We want to build an income for families and with this format and your help we know we can.

Just 45 proud women vendors in the shop means 45 families with extra income for food, children clothes, gas in their vehicles, childcare payment… whatever their goal is and that’s one less load to carry too. Especially for single moms creating income is not only a need but a great sense of pride.

We all can’t open our own stores but together we can. We are counting on you to impact this community with your love, prayers, and kindness. No gift is too small.

This is a project where everyone can truly make a difference. And we like it that way. It makes every step more meaningful. We want local contractors to help us build shelves, we want local businesses to donate books for our children’s area, we want our moms to volunteer at the store… we want every step to be marked with love.

So mark our campaign with your love today.

Please consider donating. Any amount would be helpful.
