Jumali Cooking Oil

Jane Mathendu is a single mother who lives near Mt Kenya. In1998 she bought an KickStart oilseed press to start a new business. She now contracts 20 local farmers to grow sunflowers, employs 2 full time workers and sells the cooking oil in the local market.

The new business has changed Jane's life. She has become a local opinion leader and paid for her daughter's University education - an impossible dream before buying her new press.
