Grace’s Duka: How a Small Stall Built Big Dreams

From Table to Thriving Business

What began as a simple wooden table on a dusty roadside is now a small but thriving shop — the result of determination, vision, and a little support.

Through Kinua’s business training and a small startup loan, this mother found the tools she needed to take her first steps toward financial independence. With each product she sells, she’s building more than a business, she’s building a future for her children.

“With the business training and a small loan from Kinua, I turned a simple table into a shop. I am not just selling goods; I am providing for my children and serving my neighbors.” - Grace

Today, her shop is a gathering point for the community, a place where necessities are bought, stories are shared, and a mother’s dream continues to grow.
