The women sang around my wife, Shannon, gave her a green “Mama Bidii” shirt, and wrapped here in their black and white skirt. Then we looked at their truly beautiful handiwork, and bought Christmas gifts for the year!

A truly beautiful experience.

Chips That Changed Her Children’s Lives

A loan of 1000 Kenyan Shillings (ksh), about $15.

She built a 5000 ksh/month business selling chips (french fries), about $75.

This helped her pay school fees for 6 kids, pay the rent, and change the future of her family. This my dear friends, is social entrepreneurship.

Small is the new big.
