Gig Update: How MESHERS are Doing at KikoRomeo

19 weeks into the gig, we're catching up with five of them to see how they are doing.

"What I have learnt when working with kikoromeo is crotchet mostly making items in a mesh type of way. And also learnt that a simple t-shirt can become a yarn and crotchet anything with it."

"The project has improved my financial status, and also i have gained more skills and experience."

My name is Margaret Nashipae aka Maggie. Mimi ni artist, nadeal na accessories, embroidery, jewelry, beadwork and fashion design. Nimework na kikoromeo on their upcycling project.Nilipata chance fiti ya kuincooporate my talent and skills. I have learnt alot from kikoromeo especially on production and pricing. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with them.

Am a fashion designer na pia upcoming interior designer. Kikoromeo imenisaidia sana like financially na pia business wise. In Kikoromeo ,Tulifunzwa how important it is kurecord every detail na items unatumia kutengeneza product zako .This makes it easier ukitaka kuprice final product na pia when you want kutengeneza another product kama iyo, itakusave time na money.

I could say, consistently is key in life.

From the Iko ziwa project, I've had a great learning experience with committed mentors. I got to understand the in-depth experience of running a business. It has opened my eyes more to what to expect in the next phase of my business. Most of all, it has encouraged me to keep going. Thank you.
