Car wash business: I make Sh20,000 monthly

For many Kenyan women, the car wash business is not an attractive venture and is considered a “man’s job”. 

However, for 22-year-old Lucy Nanjala, it is her full-time hustle. The woman, who resides in Bungoma town has been in this business for five years, three years working for someone and two years self-employed. Her motivation to venture into the car wash business was to prove to her fellow youth that there are jobs in Kenya for those who would wish to get into it and to show women that what a man can do, a woman can do better.
