Jovia Ithungu
As a mother of two young children, 31-year-old Jovia focuses on providing for her family. She previously ran a mobile money kiosk that generated a small income.
However, in order to earn a better living, she decided to apply for vocational training at Kirabaho Premier School (KPS). We have been sendingtools, equipment and sewing machines to this school since 2019.
Since training as a tailor, Jovia has established her own workshop opposite KPS. We provided her with a sewing machine to help get her business started. She has a natural talent or tailoring and her knowledge and skills have led to her being hired by KPS as a trainer.


Now, she primarily makes school uniforms for children. Although the work is seasonal, her recently acquired skills have opened up new income opportunities.
She is saving to build a small house and pay school fees for her children. It is
clear from her motivation that she will continue learning and has a bright future
ahead of her.
