Microsavings Helps Dressmaker in Kenya
This article isn’t about art in the traditional sense, but I think tearing up old dresses and repurposing them into new dresses requires skill and creative vision. That’s what former prostitute turned businesswoman and single mom Jane Ngoiri has done. Ngoiri, who is from Kenya, was locked into a cycle of poverty. After being taught about the concept of “microsaving” (putting tiny amounts away on a regular basis) and being guided to use the money to get a business loan, Ngoiri was able to eventually buy a house in the suburbs and provide quality education to her children. Truly inspiring. For those that want to help, you can even send your old dresses to Ngoiri via the address herein.
