Wilfridah Oyulu boasts of being the only sisal rope maker in the whole of her village. Unlike many businesses, she says this is pure art and not just the exchange of money and goods. “You have to be skilled to produce a perfect rope that can hold and last,” she says.


Wilfridah is 51 years old, married and blessed with 11 children. She started her business back in 1990 and admits she did it because the competition was low as most people back then preferred easy money: buying goods and selling the goods. She says she prefers to be the manufacturer and enjoys the joy of creation. She requires a loan of 10,000 shillings which she will use to purchase raw materials from the sisal plant. Her future dream is to open a mega-store for sisal ropes and products.
