A Kiambu businesswoman was overwhelmed with emotion during a Women and Youth Empowerment forum in Kiambaa, after receiving tools to kick-start her dream salon business.
Identified as Njeri, the woman broke into tears as she was gifted a blow-dryer and a salon dryer, equipment she had been struggling to afford, by Kiambu Woman Representative Ann Wamuratha.
Overwhelmed by the unexpected gift, Njeri covered her face with her hands as tears of gratitude streamed down her cheeks, unable to contain her joy.
The emotional moment caught the attention of Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, who was also present at the event.
Additionally, Sudi approached the tearful woman, gently brushing his hand through her hair to comfort her. He then gifted her Ksh100,000 to further boost her new venture.

“Stop crying. Go and work hard. Put in the effort so that you can look nice and even make your hair better,” Sudi told her softly.
Further, Wamuratha emphasized that such empowerment initiatives are designed to uplift women from vulnerable backgrounds and equip them with the means to generate income and gain independence.
