From Unemployment to Entrepreneurship | Rema Shaban Bakari's Story with ZIYA

Meet Rehema Shaban Bakari, a businesswoman and beauty instructor from Ujamaa, INUKA Police Village, whose journey is a powerful story of resilience, determination, and the importance of access to capital. Like many women in our communities, Rema faced the challenges of unemployment, limited financial resources, and the responsibility of providing for her children. Through ZIYA's financing programme, she found an opportunity to start small, grow her business, and work towards financial independence. In her own words, ZIYA has made a significant difference in her life, demonstrating how accessible capital can help small businesses grow and create opportunities for families and communities. Her story is a reminder that empowering one entrepreneur can make a difference beyond the individual. ZIYA – Connecting communities to opportunities and building pathways to economic empowerment.
