Luul is one of the many Somali women who have overcome the odds and
become breadwinners for their families by establishing businesses that also
provide employment to thousands of Somalis.
The hotelier, whose spirit has not been broken despite the setback, is busy
putting finishing touches to another hotel and catering establishment that she
is set to launch along a well-known street in Mogadishu.
Now it is running but its still not open because Im worried to give it a name.
To put here a sign with the business attracts risks. It is very hard and
problematic to work in these conditions, Luul explains.
Across the city, another woman has turned her taste for high quality fruits and
vegetables into a booming business venture.
Hersio Abdulle Siad founded an enterprise that packs and distributes fresh
product to Mogadishu markets. She started her business from scratch in
2003, with savings from her previous employment.
Other than advice from relatives and friends, nobody gave me money, says
Hersio. The company now specializes in selling yellow ripe bananas, a
popular fruit in Somali cuisine.
While her initial clients were hotels, restaurants and cafes in Mogadishu,
Hersio has grown the business to include women who sell bananas on the
streets. The business has flourished, employing now 20 permanent staff and
another 70 during peak seasons, and using four vehicles to deliver the staple
fruits.
Hersio has big plans for her company.
My plan is to own a farm for my company. I can train my staff so that I can
produce a clean product. I can produce the famous yellow Somali banana,
the determined businesswoman adds.
