I participated in UWEZO AWARD from 2019–2021 as a Zanaki secondary school student. At that time, I learned a lot of things like planting vegetables, fish ponding, painting, selling bites, and handmade liquid soap, all of which have helped improve my creative thinking.

I participated in UWEZO AWARD from 2019–2021 as a Zanaki secondary school student. At that time, I learned a lot of things like planting vegetables, fish ponding, painting, selling bites, and handmade liquid soap, all of which have helped improve my creative thinking. Then, after graduating from high school, I joined Great Hope Foundation as a volunteer to date. As a volunteer, I have learned a lot of things like being a good leader, and working in a team, I have had a chance to meet new people and potential friends who have helped me to become where I am.


Participating in UWEZO AWARD projects 2019–2021 has helped me embrace my entrepreneurship passion and opened a small online business known as @KIFUNA_STORE where I sell clothes and other small commodities. This business generates a bit of profit that helps me to meet my day-to-day needs as a girl as I’m still studying. In this business, I can approximately generate a profit of 120, 000 in a month, and most of my customers I get on Social Media and a few around me specifically friends. As days go on and generate big profits I dream of opening a big shop so that I can reach my goals.
