Joyce Awino and Sylvester Okongo met in Nairobi after she packed her bags and left Migori in search of greener pastures.
Okongo, who was already installing tiles, took Awino under his wings and taught her the job, and would pay her between N2k and N3600.
The two now run the Fieldspar tiles installer centre that boasts 22 employees who work for clients all over the country.
