Goats that she bought are providing income and nutrients to her family. Amina is another beneficiary of the Mandingo S4T group who is equally successful. From the KSh.4,000 (USD 40) loan that she got from the group, Amina expanded her restaurant business which serves fried potatoes (garnished with ginger, cloves and spices) served with tamarind sauce. The love that her children have for this delicacy and her experience in preparing the dish inspired Amina to start her business and make money out of her passion. “Initially, I was afraid of starting the business because I lacked confidence. But I was encouraged by my group and World Vision. At the beginning, I would sell this dish and some food would remain. But nowadays, I sell everything because there is a high demand for the food. I always have to spare some for my children otherwise there will be none left for them to enjoy at the at the end of the day,” she says. Aside from the food business, Amina has also increased her income stream by selling raw potatoes to customers that also want to prepare the delicacy by themselves. Photos accompanying a feature story on how a community affected by drought hunger and malnutrition in Mandingo-Tana River County in rural Kenya, have benefitted from training and funding by World Vision to be both food and financially secure by setting up businesses.
