Mama Rachel Ruto, the wife to Deputy President William Ruto, has commercialized one of her hobbies to help several women and people living with disabilities.
Through a series of tweets on Saturday, Mama Rachel started that she had officially opened an exhibition where people could buy cross-stitched pieces of art.
"I was delighted to officially open the annual Cross Stitch International Exhibition that began at the Safaricom Michael Joseph Center," Rachel tweeted.
She invited Kenyans to purchase priceless pieces as they engage with the project that is mainly aimed at empowering women.
"Cross stitching is one of my long time hobbies. I was greatly honored to witness a special auction of the priced pieces. Proceeds will go towards supporting women who stitched them while in prison, persons living with disabilities and albinism," she wrote.
Rachel seems to be emulating First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta who launched the Beyond Zero Campaign that aims to reduce maternal mortality during birth to zero.
DP William Ruto's wife previously revealed that that she learned the art from her mother. This later transformed into a passion that she mastered. Rachel expressed plans to conserve some of the pieces crafted by her mother.
The annual Cross Stitch International Exhibition is open until the 22nd October.
