Former World Bank Contractor Making Waves as a Fashionista
By Anne Wambui
Chebet Mutai is the owner of WazaWazi fashion house, a 10-year-old Kenyan company that specializes in manufacturing of high-end leather products.
In May 2012 she bootstrapped her venture by selling a personal car and including dipping her savings.
“ I had about Ksh 500000 ($4,326.38) and I had a partner who bought the machinery and that is how I started. In the first three months of manufacturing life was hard. Not even my friends inquired what I was doing and that is when I learnt that the life of an entrepreneur can be lonely,” says Chebet.
Enter Sukhdev Kavr Mahajan, 80,a faithful client of WazaWazi a Swahili name cobbled up of two words, which combined mean ‘open-minded’.
The lady who is long on the tooth is a ’fastidious client with deep pockets to boot. And for your information she’s the proprietor of the premier Mada Group of Hotels, which have a footprint within the three East Africa States of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
“ I began doing business in Kenya in 1972,” says Mahajan in her office cum shop based in Valley Arcade, a Nairobi suburb frequented by well-heeled individuals “ and to be honest the products of WazaWazi are exceptionally crafted. And the leather is genuine and smells natural,” she adds.
Coincidentally WazaWazi also has a shopping outlet here.
To market its products WazaWazi uses social media but disproportionately word of mouth does the trick.
The company purchases its leather exclusively from one of the 16 tanneries found in Kenya.
Kenya is home to the third largest livestock populations in Africa and leather, represents a potential area for sustainable economic growth and employment.
Reportedly the leather sector in Kenya contributes 0.3 percent to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Isaac Noor, CEO of the Kenya Leather Development Council (KLDC), an 11 year-old State Corporation established to enhance the local leather industry told Bird that Kenya exports 90 percent of its leather in raw form (semi-processed wet blue) while only 10 per cent is exported as finished products.
The leather industry is estimated to be worth Sh15 trillion ($150 billion) across the globe. With Africa commanding only four per cent. Kenya commands less than one per cent equivalent to Sh21 billion (US$ 181,739,506)
To date Chebet routinely attends trade fairs in the fashion capitals of the world including in Hong Kong, Frankfurt Las Vegas and New York cities.
Certainly a precocious entrepreneur, Chebet’s article of faith in business genuflects towards manufacturing quality goods believing that with the passage of time, ‘ a personal angel’ arguably weighs in leading to a sizable footfall into a business.
“ Quality is a way of life. It’s not a thing you do at the end. It’s something you do every step of the way,” says this former alumni of Kenyatta University (KU), a local institution, where she studied French and Economics.
She names her leather bags after people who have influenced her kaleidoscopically and conspicuously for now they all happen to be Africans.
Presently she gloats about three particular leather bags including the ‘Kittony Bag’ dedicated to Kenyan female veteran politician Zipporah Kittony, the Makosewe bag dedicated to late Kenyan media personality Grace Makosewe, the Luoch dedicated to Connie Aluoch a Kenyan stylist and the Wangari Ladies Work Tote Bag, allotted to the late Nobel Prize laureate, Prof Wangari Maathai.
It turns out Chebet’s entrepreneur journey was spurred by an altruistic sense of self-guilt borne from working for the World Bank beginning in 2006 after completion of her undergraduate studies.
After working at the Bretton Woods institution for three years her came face-to-face with her eureka moment.
After flying around sub Saharan Africa as a development consultant, Chebet realized problems ravaging the continent were homogeneously similar regardless of what country one was referring to.
From hindsight, it did not make sense then, for this present day 38-year-old peripatetic merchant, for a work-related flight to cost an estimated $ 5000 and when you include logistical and administrative charges the figure would almost double.
“ The cost of logistics and administration were higher than the impact of what we were doing as agents of development. So I thought ‘ ok what I need to do is come up with a business that would allow me to create jobs for the scourge of unemployment which was and continues to be a big problem in the continent. And since I loved clothes and fashion importing handbags from Dubai, I thought let me start a fashion business and create employment and that’s why I began this business.”
Unemployment in sub-Saharan Africa stands at around 6%, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO). But most of the work available is unskilled or low skilled, in part because the region has the world’s lowest levels of access to higher education.
So, although many Africans are employed, 70 % of Sub-Saharan Africa’s workforce is vulnerable, says the ILO .The global average for vulnerable occupations is 46 %.
According to ILO Business leaders in 22 out of 34 sub-Saharan African countries told the World Economic Forum three years ago that unemployment and underemployment were their most pressing concerns.
And as is often said, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. To date Chebet has employed 16 people in her factory.
“ I made a conscious decision that as African people we must stop theorizing about the change that is required for evidently poverty is ubiquitously present and as individuals we must step up to ameliorate the depressing situation. For it’s only then that we shall be able as a continent to lift more people out of poverty,” says Chebet.
Evelyn Ndelio, 50 is a quintessential employee of WazaWazi, and belongs to the ethnocentrism leaning Massai community of Kenya.
“ Chebet sent emissaries to our village in our ancestral Kajiado County, seeking women who were conversant with beading. And 10 of us volunteered to come to Nairobi to work for her. Since then our lives have greatly improved for we are paid a reasonable monthly wage, a phenomenal that was rare in the past,” says Ndelio, dressed in a colourful loincloth dress.
The array of leather goods manufactured in Chebet’s factory located within the verdant gated grounds of Jamhuri ShowGround here in Nairobi include leather backpacks, change purses, clutch bags, laptop or tablet leather cases beaded leather belts, jackets and so on all targeting a discerning global clientele.
“ When I began the business, the local banking ecosystem was averse to loaning money to budding entrepreneurs with solid business ideas but were lacking tangible assets to act as collateral,” says Chebet whose parents were typical civil servants working in Nakuru, Kenya’s fourth largest city, located 158 Klm NorthWest of Nairobi, the Capital.
To date however, the local banking industry has undergone a seismic change that has witnessed lenders increasing backing ideas with financial outlays even in instances where a putative entrepreneur is lacking a collateral asset.
While the Kenya Government has identified the leather sector as one of the flagship projects for realizing its manufacturing sector targets under Kenya Vision 2030, a policy paper that targets to make the country into a newly industrialized middle income country by 2030.
“ Your purpose is your endgame. That is your legacy. So if you start working on your purpose you are building your legacy everyday. Ease is a greater threat to your progress than hardship. So keep going. Keep working, until you win,” says Chebet.

Chebet Ng’ok: Founder of Harriet Botanicals, Empowering Wellness
Harriet Botanicals embodies Chebet Ng’ok’s mission to make indigenous wellness accessible to everyone. Her journey shows how personal struggles can spark entrepreneurial success. “I never imagined my pain would bring me here,” she reflects. “But now, I’m proud to help others live healthier, pain-free lives.” Chebet’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and staying connected to her heritage—valuable lessons for any aspiring entrepreneur.
Discover how Chebet Ng’ok’s Harriet Botanicals uses indigenous herbs to transform reproductive health, helping women and men live pain-free, healthy lives.
Chebet Ng’ok, the Founder and CEO of Harriet Botanicals, took a deeply personal challenge and turned it into a thriving business, bringing indigenous Kenyan remedies to the forefront of the wellness industry.
What started as a search for relief from severe menstrual pain led Chebet to discover the healing power of local herbs.
Today, her company is empowering women and men alike through natural products while promoting better reproductive health.
From Financial Powerhouse to Entrepreneur
Chebet’s journey into entrepreneurship was far from typical.
A highly successful financial manager and consultant, she spent over 15 years living in London, where she obtained an LLB in Law with a concentration in Commercial Law from the London School of Economics and an LLM in International Banking and Finance.
Her illustrious career saw her work with some of the world’s largest financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, the UK Financial Services Authority, and Goldman Sachs. She even held positions as an independent consultant and an East Africa Partner at Dwyka Projects and Equinox Global Consultants.
However, behind her professional success, Chebet was grappling with debilitating menstrual pain that impacted her life and career.
“When I finished my education and started working, I had a serious challenge with my menstruation—a lot of pain, agony, painkillers, and frequent visits to doctors and gynecologists,” she explained in a 2021 interview. Desperate for relief, she tried everything from juice fasts and yoga to various painkillers, but nothing seemed to work.
Discovering Indigenous Remedies
It wasn’t until Chebet returned to Kenya that she discovered the transformative power of indigenous herbs.
Her journey into alternative medicine began with a recommendation from a family member.
A herbalist uncle from Webuye gave her a traditional remedy that, for the first time, alleviated some of her pain. Later, at her father’s funeral, a woman introduced her to Kipsigis herbs, which provided the first completely painless menstrual cycle Chebet had experienced in years.
This revelation inspired her to research further into indigenous remedies from the Keiyo, Marakwet, and Kipsigis communities.
“When I experienced a painless period for the first time in my life, I knew I had stumbled upon something truly powerful,” Chebet recalls. She began sharing the herbs with friends, one of whom was about to undergo a hysterectomy due to severe menstrual pain. The success stories spread quickly, with Chebet’s social circles buzzing about the benefits of these natural remedies.
Filling a Void in Kenya’s Wellness Market
Harriet Botanicals was officially launched in 2017 to formalize the distribution of these indigenous remedies, focusing initially on women’s reproductive health.
“We realized there was a huge gap in the market for locally sourced, natural solutions to common health issues like menstrual pain, infertility, and digestion challenges,” says Chebet.
As word of mouth spread and demand grew, Harriet Botanicals expanded its product line to cater to both men and women, offering remedies for issues like low libido and immune support.
Chebet made it her mission to ensure that these products were accessible to all Kenyans, opening outlets in major cities and towns across the country.
Overcoming Challenges and Building a Business
Starting Harriet Botanicals was not without its challenges. Despite her background in finance, Chebet faced an entirely new set of hurdles in the health and wellness sector.
“Convincing people to trust indigenous remedies was tough. Many believed that imported products were more effective,” she explained.
Funding was another major obstacle. Chebet initially relied on personal savings and small contributions from family and friends. She didn’t have access to large-scale investment, but through determination and a commitment to quality, Harriet Botanicals slowly gained a loyal customer base.
“I believed in the power of the product, and I knew that if we kept reinvesting back into the business, we could grow sustainably,” she said.
Lessons for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Reflecting on her entrepreneurial journey, Chebet shares some valuable lessons for others looking to start their own businesses.
“First, you have to believe in your product. If you’re not convinced, no one else will be,” she advises. She also stresses the importance of resilience in the face of adversity.
“There were times I doubted whether this business could work, but I never gave up. You have to be prepared for setbacks and keep pushing forward.”
Chebet also emphasizes the need for market education.
“Our biggest challenge was getting people to trust natural, locally made remedies. But once we focused on educating consumers about the benefits of our products, we began to see a shift.”
Lastly, she advises entrepreneurs to start small and grow organically.
“You don’t need a lot of capital to start. What’s more important is that you have a clear vision and a product that people need.”
Voices of Beneficiaries
The impact of Harriet Botanicals has been far-reaching, with many customers sharing their stories of relief and improved well-being. Ann Wambui, a loyal customer, speaks about how the products have changed her life
: “I had severe menstrual cramps for years. Since using Harriet Botanicals’ products, I’ve experienced pain-free cycles and can finally go about my day without interruption.”
James Njoroge, who struggled with digestive issues, shares a similar experience:
“I started using their Moringa tea for digestion problems, and it’s been a game-changer. I feel healthier and more energetic.”
A Future Rooted in Wellness
Today, Harriet Botanicals stands as a testament to Chebet Ng’ok’s vision of making indigenous wellness solutions accessible to all.
As the company continues to expand its product range and reach, Chebet remains committed to her mission of promoting better health through the power of nature.
Her story is a powerful reminder of the potential for personal challenges to inspire entrepreneurial success. “I never thought my pain would lead me to this,” she says. “But now, I’m proud to be helping other people live healthier, pain-free lives.”
Chebet’s journey is one of resilience, innovation, and staying true to one’s roots—lessons that any entrepreneur can take to heart.

Tehmeena Manji’s journey with Muthaiga Tea Company is a powerful testament to how passion, education, and perseverance can make a meaningful impact on Kenya’s tea industry. Her dedication to quality and sustainability establishes a benchmark for others, inspiring the next wave of entrepreneurs in the nation. Through her innovative approaches, Tehmeena is not only influencing the future of tea in Kenya but also ensuring that the legacy of this essential industry continues to flourish.
Tehmeena Manji’s story is one of passion, determination, and a commitment to quality, perfectly illustrating the vibrant tapestry of Kenya’s tea industry.
As the founder of Muthaiga Tea Company, she has carved out a niche in the competitive tea market by combining her expertise with innovative practices.
Born in 1989 in Nairobi, Tehmeena’s fascination with tea began at a young age, evolving from a curious child to a renowned tea sommelier and entrepreneur.
Educational Foundation
Tehmeena’s academic journey took root at St. Mary’s School in Nairobi, where she developed a keen interest in culinary arts and agriculture.
Her pursuit of a degree in Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Nairobi, which she completed in 2011, provided her with a solid foundation in understanding the complexities of food production and quality control. This background would become invaluable as she embarked on her entrepreneurial path.
The Birth of Muthaiga Tea Company
Tehmeena officially launched Muthaiga Tea Company in 2017, driven by a mission to provide high-quality, ethically sourced tea for both local and international markets.
Recognizing Kenya’s status as one of the largest tea producers globally, she saw untapped potential in premium tea products.
Starting with an initial investment of KSh 1 million (approximately $10,000), Tehmeena sourced high-quality tea leaves from smallholder farmers in Kericho, an area known for its rich soil and favorable climate for tea cultivation. She prioritized sustainable farming practices, ensuring her suppliers adhered to ethical and environmentally friendly methods.
A Snapshot of Muthaiga Tea Company
Since its inception, Muthaiga Tea Company has witnessed remarkable growth.
By 2023, the company reported an annual revenue of approximately KSh 50 million (around $450,000) and employed around 25 full-time staff while collaborating with over 100 smallholder farmers.
Headquartered in Nairobi, with sourcing operations in Kericho, Muthaiga Tea Company offers a diverse portfolio of over ten different brands, including the signature “Muthaiga Classic” blend, flavored teas, and herbal infusions.
Building a Unique Brand
Tehmeena’s passion for tea led her to pursue further education in tea tasting and blending, culminating in a professional course as a tea sommelier in Sri Lanka in 2018.
This knowledge proved crucial as she crafted unique blends that set Muthaiga Tea Company apart.
In 2019, the company launched its first line of premium teas, including “Muthaiga Classic,” which quickly gained popularity among tea connoisseurs, praised for its rich flavor profile and high-quality leaves.
Innovative packaging designs that emphasized the premium nature of her products further enhanced the brand’s appeal. Muthaiga Tea gained traction in the local market, with sales increasing by 150% in its first year, leading to the expansion of its product line to include flavored teas and herbal infusions by 2020.
Recognition and Challenges
Tehmeena’s dedication to quality and sustainability resonated with consumers, leading to her products appearing in upscale hotels, restaurants, and specialty stores across Kenya.
In 2021, Muthaiga Tea Company was recognized as the “Best New Tea Brand” at the Kenya National Tea Awards.
This accolade validated her efforts and facilitated international distribution, allowing her to export products to Europe and North America.
However, challenges emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, as global supply chain disruptions impacted her ability to source tea leaves.
Tehmeena demonstrated resilience by pivoting to online sales and developing a direct-to-consumer platform, allowing customers to purchase tea directly from the company.
This strategic shift helped sustain the business during the pandemic, leading to a doubling of online sales by 2022, with a significant percentage of revenue coming from international markets.
Attributes of a Successful Entrepreneur
Reflecting on the essential attributes for success in business, Tehmeena emphasizes resilience, passion, and adaptability.
“You need to have resilience. It’s the ability to bounce back from challenges that sets successful entrepreneurs apart,” she notes.
She also admires the late Prof. Wangari Maathai, the renowned environmentalist, for her commitment to sustainable development, stating, “Her legacy encourages us to consider our responsibility to the planet.”
Future Aspirations
As of 2023, Tehmeena continues to lead Muthaiga Tea Company with a vision to expand into the global market while promoting sustainable practices within the tea industry.
She advocates for fair wages for farmers and aims to launch workshops educating consumers about tea appreciation and the art of tasting.
Kenya’s Tea Legacy and Economic Impact
Muthaiga Tea Company’s success reflects the broader significance of tea in Kenya, where the country ranks third globally in tea production after China and India. Kenyan tea is highly rated for its quality, sustainability, and diverse varieties.
With exports generating approximately KSh 140 billion (around $1.2 billion) in 2022, tea is a vital contributor to Kenya’s economy, providing employment to over 600,000 smallholder farmers and funding community development projects in tea-growing regions.
In summary, Tehmeena Manji’s journey with Muthaiga Tea Company exemplifies how passion, education, and perseverance can lead to significant contributions to Kenya’s tea industry. Her commitment to quality and sustainability sets a standard for others, inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs in the country. Through her innovative practices, Tehmeena is shaping the future of tea in Kenya, ensuring that the legacy of this vital industry continues to thrive.
