Before KAUNJIKA, Ruth was running a saloon business. While it gave her income, she wanted a business with greater potential to secure her family’s future. So she did what successful entrepreneurs do she researched.

That research led her to the second hand clothes industry.

In 2019, Ruth made her first move. She visited DAPP Malawi and purchased her very first bale, a 15kgs Children Rummage 0-6 years bale. That one decision marked the beginning of a new chapter.

_"I was doing saloon business at first until I decided to research for a good and profitable business. That’s when I discovered that second hand clothes business KAUNJIKA and partnering with DAPP Malawi was the way to my success,"_ Ruth said.

From that first bale, Ruth has grown steadily. Her commitment and hard work have paid off.

Today, through her KAUNJIKA business, Ruth is able to Pay school fees for her children, Pay her monthly rentals, consistently

Ruth’s story proves that success doesn’t always come from doing what you’ve always done. Sometimes it comes from learning, pivoting, and taking a bold step forward.

Her advice to others
_“Do your research. Start small. Stay consistent. KAUNJIKA can change your life too.”_ 💪

We celebrate you, Mama Tsoka!

FROM MANGO 🥭 VENDING TO SECOND-HAND CLOTHES BUSINESS (KAUNJIKA) ✨👚👖

Meet Florence Mtambo, 29 years old. She is a thriving second-hand clothes entrepreneur at Dyeratu Market in Chikwawa District.

Before KAUNJIKA, Florence was a mango vendor in Chikwawa. While the mango business helped her survive, it was seasonal and inconsistent. She struggled to provide basic needs for her family and support her parents.

In 2020, Florence decided to make a bold change. She was determined to find a business that could provide stable income all year round. That’s when she visited DAPP Malawi. After receiving guidance from our team, she purchased her first bale: a 15kg bale of Ladies’ T-Shirts SS. That single step marked the beginning of her journey in the second-hand clothes business.

The results were immediate. After selling her first bale, Florence made a profit. With her second bale, her capital doubled. The growth was fast because the demand was real, and Florence was committed.

Today, Florence is a regular and proud customer of DAPP Malawi. KAUNJIKA has transformed her life.
"I am now happy," Florence says. "I can provide food for my family. I can support my parents. My capital has grown so much that I can now purchase more than 2 bales at once."

Florence’s story is proof that with the right opportunity and determination, small businesses can grow into life-changing ventures. From selling seasonal mangoes to running a stable KAUNJIKA business, she has built financial independence and security for her family.
