Our Story

From community potential to sustainable opportunity.

Yamoi Women Enterprise Initiative is a women-led social enterprise and community empowerment initiative dedicated to advancing economic inclusion, sustainable livelihoods, enterprise development, financial resilience and community transformation.

Founded in Nairobi, the Initiative creates practical pathways through which women, youth, widows, single mothers, artisans and marginalized communities can access skills, enterprise opportunities, financing, markets and sustainable sources of income.

We believe that when women are equipped with skills, opportunities, capital and supportive networks, they become powerful drivers of household prosperity, community development and sustainable economic growth.
