Despite the dissenting economic effects of Covid-19 in Kenya, one woman in a remote village in western Kenya won’t just take it laying down. Miss. Diana Shisia, a seamstress by profession, found a way of managing her small sewing workshop from home whilst taking care of her twin toddler grandchildren simultaneously.
The 50-year-old had to move her tailoring shop from her village market on the onset of the pandemic and so far this multitasking hardworking mama is at the top of her game. She confirms that initially consolidating both responsibilities of childcare and running her sewing business wasn’t easy but her love for what she does and commitment has seen her through.
Diana is a beneficiary of Give Amore’s free tailoring training program and is grateful that not only does proceeds from her home based tailoring business help feed her grandchildren but also help educate her daughter in high school. We wish her all the best.
