#54 Julieta

Juli­eta (cor­rect spelling) runs a daily mar­ket stall in the mar­ket hall opened in 2023 in Mtwapa, north of Mom­basa. Des­pite her strong com­mit­ment, the loc­a­tion does not gen­er­ate enough foot traffic to ensure a stable income.

Ongo­ing health issues, rising liv­ing costs, and increased school fees for her son—now attend­ing sec­ond­ary school—add fur­ther pressure.

Nev­er­the­less, Juli­eta remains determ­ined. She is plan­ning a fresh start and is look­ing for a small shop in a busy shop­ping street where she can fully apply her strength in sales and build a reli­able live­li­hood for her­self and her son.
