Margaret Wanjiru Kamau is a 42-year-old single woman residing in
Dogoretti, Kenya. Margaret is disabled, without feet, but is
mobile. She finds means of traveling through the use of public
transportation or walking on her knees.
Margaret speaks some English and Swahili. She has recently
developed a skill for crocheting. Margaret hopes to start a new
business called “Mama’s Place” where she plans on selling slippers
and cosmetics for women. She will crochet the slippers herself. She
hopes that this business will improve her living conditions,
provide her with enough money to buy a plot of land for retirement,
and help to fund her cousin’s son’s education.
