My trade is weaving. I opened my own shop in 1981 in Kakamega and I'm still there most mornings.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I try to remember everyone's name.
More about Fatuma
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

What gifts mean to Fatuma: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
