My business, Mavuno Seed, is a seed company based in Nairobi, Kenya with the mission to provide quality seeds for crops at affordable prices to enhance sustainability of farmers, contribute to food security and improve the health of families. Mavuno Seed is the first woman-owned seed company in Kenya. I was inspired to start my own business because I wanted to be free to make decisions in areas that would help small-holder farmers, many of whom in Kenya are women.
