Why Co-Create?

The Co-Create with Ruth Networking Program was established in 2025 in Kenya, at a time when both the employed and unemployed were grappling with severe economic uncertainty and hardship.

Many local businesses were forced to shut down, while foreign investors withdrew from the market, deepening the crisis and driving the cost of living even higher.

Amidst this turmoil, Ruth—thoughtful, empathetic, and resilient—envisioned a bold response. She sought not only to address her own immediate challenges but also to build a platform that could empower others facing similar struggles, creating a ripple effect of hope, opportunity, and shared growth.

This stirred a powerful desire to embrace creativity as a tool for meaningful entrepreneurship; expanding business ventures and creating meaningful employment. By multiplying the gifts God has entrusted to us, we not only bear fruit in our own lives but also sow abundance across generations, better equipping ourselves to navigate financial hardship.

Through co-creating purpose-driven, income-generating projects, we foster growth and lasting impact. Imagine a world where every individual fully unlocked their God-given potential and welcomed the support of those willing to invest in their vision — no one would be left in lack.

My story

Treading on the rocks - my shoes understand.

My story isn’t about success, it’s about turning tears into strength, disappointments into needs—and transforming those needs into investment opportunities.

When I was nine, I remember harvesting paw-paws and lemons from a small garden I tended with my mom. I would sell them to her friends just to get enough money to buy food. At times, we would go hungry for up to four days.

That reality never sat well with me. I was always restless, always seeking a solution. On other days, I’d walk through the weed-covered garden in dry seasons and gather herbs—enough to prepare a meal for ten siblings and extended family.

My sister used to tease me, saying I was aggressive because I feared hunger. But as I grew older and continued facing what felt like endless challenges, I realized something deeper: I love crafting creative solutions. It’s a skill that naturally aligns with entrepreneurship.

Yet, life didn’t get easier. At one point, the weight of hardship became too heavy. I lost the strength to see things clearly. Depression and anxiety crept in—and I lost grip of the very gem that once sustained me.

I always thought, I’ve never reached a point where I could say, “Now I’m where I’ve always wanted to be.” I’ve often felt hopeless, letting sorrow engulf me. So I asked myself, “Why not stop trying so hard and just sit down and wait to die?”

But everything changed when I realized there is so much more to life than failure delayed success. I remembered there is someone — uniquely crafted by God with love, care, and a divine imprint of creativity and abundant ideas worth investing in. Then I started believing in me.

So, I chose to rise from sorrow and embrace the faith that’s always been calling me toward greater heights. I now long to see these God-inspired ideas transformed into resources that will uplift millions.

My desire isn’t for empty riches, but for a deep, lasting impact on people’s lives — to inspire them to rise when life knocks them down and to overcome until they realize God has been patiently waiting for them to see their worth all along.
