Kenya - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

My project involves helping new born babies by selling diapers to their mother's and also sanitary materials at an affordable small prices

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

Here in Kenya diapers and sanitary materials are sold at higher prices so the young mothers are having a very hard time when raising their children.High numbers of young mothers use torn clothes to pamper their children so I found an idea that I can get diapers from the factory and sell to them at a lower price than the retail shops here I'll be very happy to see them smiling..same applies to the sanitary materials too.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

The main problem am trying to solve is the health of the small kids who get infected for using pieces of the torn clothes as diapers.

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

The advantage of using these diapers is that you can only use it once and dispose it since it can't be reused and also it's very clean and comfortable for the kids.
