Robin, one of our rural entrepreneurs in Busia, makes art out of used buckets and bottles. He also fixes broken art pieces. Reach him on 0746190930 for his services.
At the hilly Ganjala area, stone mining by hand and hammer is the main economic activity being done by either gender to make sure most of the Busia residents get building materials.
This is the scenario at noontime everyday at Sio port as some of our clients arrive from their activities at the lake. You will be amazed at what goes into sand harvesting process before it arrives at any construction site.
We have learnt along the way that offering financial literacy leads to better personal financial management practices among our rural entrepreneurs. What else do you want to know about rural entrepreneurship in Western Kenya?
Apart from offering credit, we also link prospective customers to our rural entrepreneurs whenever we can. Today our Jua Kali Group members have something to smile about after their gravel (kototo in Swahili) was purchased.
We engage in design thinking with our partners such as @ygapkenya occasionally to help us refine our business models and to ensure we generate relevant ideas that will serve our rural entrepreneurs. Thank you @ygap_official

Like any other business @gavkenya has had its ups and downs. Did the downs stop us from progressing? Absolutely not.
