Pauline
Pauline married into a brewing family, and it was their only source of income. Like so many brewers, she and her husband drank their own alcohol and were constantly surrounded by drunk customers. The brewing environment was very chaotic, and it negatively affected their seven children. In 2007, Pauline’s husband died of ulcers caused by drinking and suddenly she was a widow. She determined to stop drinking herself, but she continued to brew in order to support her family.
As she gained more knowledge and success in business, she decided to sell some unusable land and invest the proceeds into a business. Pauline bought a truck that could carry far greater quantities of vegetables, and she began to venture to markets outside her local area. Then she learned the value of “resale” and began to buy potatoes and drive them to Mombasa where she could sell them for a profit. Soon she had to hire help to load and drive the truck! Instead of being a notorious brewer, Pauline has become a well-known businesswoman. She even has a second car she can use for local business affairs, something she never thought possible.
Pauline is a leader of the women in her church and counsels many. She also encourages current brewers to leave the brewing life because she is living proof that there is a better way. Pauline attributes her success to receiving knowledge and business skills that helped her make smart decisions. Her latest venture involves a new 1/8 of an acre of land that she purchased in the center of Iten, a town that draws runners from around the world. Pauline recognized that having rental houses in the area would be good business, so she plans to build some on this land soon.
Pauline is a strong and empowered woman who values knowledge and wisdom. Pauline still runs, but not from the police. She runs to keep her 62-year-old body healthy! While on a break during Leadership Training, women were resting or chatting, but Pauline was running laps, stretching, and encouraging others to join her. Pauline embodies the strength of Women of Change!
