Construction is a man's game. These women are demolishing the barriers

Buildher, a Nairobi nonprofit, has trained over 1,000 women in construction trades since 2019, with graduates increasing their average daily earnings from $1.50 to $11-12 per day within a year, and 65% remaining employed in construction 12 months after training.

Women still represent only 3% of Kenya's accredited construction artisans; systemic barriers remain.
