She’s proud of being able to support herself and her child through her salary. On the weekends, she takes care of her 15 chickens at home. Yes, 15!
Meet ELPINA. She has been working at Wildlife Works for 6 years. Before being employed at Wildlife Works, she owned a shop. She said it was a hard life, especially when she had no money to pay for rent. Today, with wages earned from sewing in our eco-factory, she owns a piece of land and a house in Maungu where she lives with her two children. She hopes to one day save enough money to buy a shamba for her son.

She enjoys learning to work with different materials, from knits to wovens and going to church on the weekend.
Meet ZANIRA. She has been with Wildlife Works for 3 years, since she was 19, a year after graduating from secondary school.
