Yes I am. One of the motivation behind building Quikee was to empower informal business so they can thrive the same way as the formal/big businesses. in the society that I live in, up to 60% of informal business are owned by women especially single ladies and married house wives. Understanding that providing a platform that allows then to do business and still carry out their motherly duty is very vital.
