Virginia's Story

Rebuilt, Rooted, and Rising

Virginia Nyota is a God-fearing mother of six. Like so many women WFA serves, her path has not been without hardship. When COVID hit, her secondhand clothing business collapsed — a business she had built with her own hands, on her own faith.

She could have stopped there. She didn't.

Through WFA, Virginia received a loan of 30,000 KSH to restart. She rebuilt her business, and it is thriving again. But Virginia didn't stop at one income stream. She now grows vegetables and raises chickens, creating a more resilient foundation for her family. Through it all, she has educated her children — including one who is now pursuing a nursing degree.

Virginia's story is not just one of recovery. It is one of roots growing deeper and a woman rising higher than where she started.
