“I no longer look for transport whenever I want to go places, I just pick up my bike and go. Secondly, I am my own boss. I can choose to work and when not to work. Thirdly, I am no longer working under pressure and am free and hopefully in some two years I will be riding my own car. On top of that I can make my own money, I can eat whatever I feel like eating and I can raise some little money for my children whenever they need support, I can raise the money. I have been able to advance from the old way of things to a new and modern way.”
Akulu Roscovia Priscilla 35, single mother of 3, former security guard.
“As a woman with a certificate in engineering, this training showed me just how much more inclusive the technical sector is becoming. Seeing other women actively learning, leading, and excelling inspired me. It’s no longer just about breaking in—it’s about belonging and thriving.”
Lucky Akinyi 23, Homabay Assistant Technician at WETU
“Since I finished the training, I was able to buy some land after the knowledge I acquired from the financial literacy class on investments and saving. I was able to save some money which I later on invested in buying land.”
Mary Majo 35, married and a mother of 3 and a part time teacher and boda boda rider.
“It has been so great, I now know how to spend, save, balance work and family, I am aware of the road safety precautions, knowledge about first aid and others. I have also noticed that electric bikes save more than fuel bikes.”
Namawejje Dorothy 32, works for KCCA as traffic regulator, single mother of 2
“Learning about solar panels and battery systems has opened my eyes to the world of clean energy. I used to believe this field was only for men, but now I see that women can lead and excel here too. This training has given me both knowledge and confidence.”
Hellen Atieno, 28, Sofia – Electrician
“Having access to mobility is breaking patriarchal barriers and now I am super confident. A lot of people are asking questions and they find it very inspiring to see that women are taking up space in this field.”
