Christmas for us is about being grateful

Christmas for us is a time to be thankful. Thankful for everything that has happened to us, the good and bad because even the bible says in everything give thanks.

Here goes our gratitude list:

1. Jesus. Thank you for looking out for Mdada even when we don't know it.
2. The rejection by a couple of outlets to retail our merchandise.
3. The space we got to sell our bracelets at Yaya.
4. The new girls we helped earn money. Nicole, one of our girls made Ksh 9650/- after we trained her!BOOM #winning #power. Our student here warms our heart with her testimonial.
5. Our new and returning customers. We 💗 our customers.
6. The markets we participated in. The flops like NFM and the successes like The Hub's Christmas Fair.
7. Our new cool office space.
8. Our partnerships with major companies (not saying the names because I want to surprise our fans, big things coming in 2017)
9. The support of The Pollination Project. We were delighted to give gifts to the people who believed in us when we started.
10. The rejection for support from accelerators we've been a part of.
11. Our friends and family who've been a beacon of strength. (special s/o to my sisters Aina & Mainda, bro AK4Saba and my friends Willie and Linda who are part of the Mdada team.)
12. The jam by Nyashinski 'Mungu Pekee'. It literally sums up our attitude this entire year. Please listen to it here

What are you grateful for this Christmas?

Have a merry one.

Bless,
