Episode description

Maryben Omollo is the CEO Greenseal Limited, a cleaning and pest control startup in Kenya. But it’s a business with a difference… only employing and supporting single parents. Maryben faced harassment and struggled to find work after she got pregnant and the father left her. She faced depression and even attempted suicide. But her mental health has improved and she’s now set up her business and is helping others in a similar situation. She’s now been named one of Africa’s top 40 under 40 entrepreneurs, an award she dedicates to single mothers and people with mental health disorders: “For me this is a dedication to everyone out there who feels they can’t make it.” #AfricaDaily Presenter: Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja)
