In Kenya, there exists a significant digital divide that hinders equitable access to technology and online resources. Recent statistics reveal the challenges faced by a substantial portion of the population in terms of connectivity, availability of digital devices, and digital literacy skills. A study conducted in 2021, titled "Kenya's Digital Economy: A People's Perspective," discovered that only 35% of women utilize advanced digital services compared to 54% of men. This disparity is attributed to factors such as discrimination, harmful social norms, an educational divide, geographical barriers, and lack of motivation. These obstacles create barriers for individuals to fully participate in the thriving online e-commerce environment. Nevertheless, amidst these challenges, a remarkable woman has emerged, demonstrating an unwavering determination to overcome the odds and thrive in the digital realm. Her story serves as an inspiring example of how individuals in Kenya are actively working to bridge the digital divide and seize the available opportunities to succeed in the dynamic world of online entrepreneurship.
