Ms Faith Kinanu, the only female taxi driver in Isiolo thrives in a male dominated sector two years after her fruits vending business collapsed following the hard economic times occasioned by the pandemic.
Working in a pastoral county where majority of the communities are patriarchal, she rose against the odds to outshine her male counterparts and to earn a living.
Ms Kinanu says she has endured harsh criticism and sometimes sexual harassment some male customers who feel she should engage in women dominated businesses.
The recent fuel shortage and current hike in prices dealt her huge blow but she is able to sort her bills amid the current business recession.
According to a recent survey by the Kenya Institute of Public Research and Analysis, the economic participation by women is still low even in sectors that are rarely regulated by the government.
