„From old to new“ …
Josephine has been standing on her own two feet since 2015, after training as a seamstress by Mama Africa many years ago. Until the onset of the corona pandemic, she didn’t need any support and was even able to send her son to high school in Nairobi. But then everything changed: suddenly the tourists stayed away and Josephine fought for the survival of her business. She kept herself afloat by sewing uniforms for judges or table linen for the surrounding hotels. With a small loan from Mama Afrika she could afford an overlock sewing machine. Thus we were able to quickly help her and so Josephine could now not only take on more specific orders, but also rent out her overlock machine to other seamstresses for a fee to generate a small additional income.
