Mama Jasiri: A Brave Woman

Meet Patricia Loko Mutua, a woman of courage who proudly embraces the title of Mama Jasiri, meaning “brave woman” in Swahili, symbolizing her remarkable journey through some of a woman’s deepest violations to firmly steer the course of her life.

Patricia is not a quitter. She started with a series of meagre jobs, trials, and challenges in between, which would eventually lead her to yet another county, this time Kilifi.

Today, Patricia’s beads products business sees her supply to organizations, groups, events, and to individuals. She also trains persons with disabilities in making these products to start their own enterprises. Additionally, she also sells fabrics, as well as cleaning and beauty products. She also co-runs an outdoor catering business with one of her sons, where they also hire young people to provide the services during events.

The Jasiri Fund found her just when she needed it, giving her the tools and the skills, and igniting her passion. Now, she is growing the impact, one GBV survivor at a time. Witnessing a support group meeting, you can’t help getting moved by her energy and drive to ignite this passion to others.
