Mama Jane on how to be a boss

What does it mean to be a boss in the Maasai Mara? Mama Jane can tell you. Raising chicken is your bread and butter. Goats can yield great dividends. A dairy cow can send your kids to school. But the hustle to make it happen is real and requires sacrifice. Follow Mama Jane’s journey as she works to become an entrepreneur and make business opportunities for women a reality.

WE’s opportunity program provides financial literacy training and a leg up to over 70 women’s groups across Kenya. Support these groups and invest in a new type of entrepreneur.
