Hakuna kazi ndogo! Meet the shoe shinners with degrees
Six months after a group of Maa girls started a shoe shining business in Narok town, the business is thriving as it has attracted attention of the town dwellers.
The group chairlady Ms. Grace Nakola told Kenya News Agency that most of the girls come from poor backgrounds and failed to pursue high learning education because of lack of money.
“I had enrolled to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management at the Maasai Mara University but dropped due to lack of school fees. My parents could not afford to pay for me so I had to look for an alternative business,” said Nakola.
