Fatuma Boru starting working for Afrikable only recently, but she already sees improvements in her life. She belongs to the recycling group, Recycling Solutions Lamu. She likes learning to read and write and learning new things in her work. But what she likes most is having financial independence.
“I used to have to wait for my husband to bring money home. He had no stable job and hardly ever brought money for food to eat. When I was passing by the shops, I saw things I wanted to buy for myself or my children, but I couldn't because my husband did not give me any money. Now I have my own salary, and if I see something I like or want I can buy it myself.”
