The $1000 grant from the pollination project was entirely used to buy high quality fabric and purchasing a finishing machine. To me the grant added my confidence knowing that people and organizations like The Pollination Project are ready to support young entrepreneurs working to change the lives of people in our communities. after receiving the grant, it opened me to many more opportunities for funding which I have all used to grow Ki-pepeo Kids clothing. To my team, this grant gave hope of what we can achieve. The team was exposed to better sewing materials and this not only improved their work but also motivated them to work more due to availability machinery.
