Our team explored how NatureLock LLP used strategic options to illustrate resilience during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
In Kenya, 90% of women-owned MSMEs fall under the low-value Jua Kali (informal) sector. In 2010, Tei showed resilience as a woman
entrepreneur when she established Azuri Health as a high-value medium-size enterprise and expanded it into one of East Africa’s largest
processors of dried fruits. In 2020, Tei showed resilience again during the Covid-19 Pandemic by establishing a strategic partnership
with Tutti Foodi and formed NatureLock LLP to sell soup products.
