Jane, 8 months pregnant and still working. She was expecting a baby sister to her firstborn son.

Exploring the Kimironko market in Kigali. Most of the fabrics here come from DRC.

Congratulation to Fifi Clementine to start her coffee shop after she advanced her IBTC Ltd barista skills. Please stop by to have a speciality coffee cup in her shop at city vibe apartment KG 16, Street 15, opposite the Kimironko sector office. @fificlementine250 #ibtcbaristaclass #Coffeeperrwandan #kimironko #espressohousecoffee #baristaskills #coffeeshop #kigalirwanda #rwandacoffeefarmers #rwandacoffee #baristajamess #jamgrapher #coffeehouses (at Kimironko) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc43DF3NCD3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MARKET THEORY’S REALITY | With his famous Five Forces Framework, Harvard academic Michael Porter gave the business world a tool to determine the competitiveness of an industry. How nice, thanks teach! For a business to enter under favorable conditions, the forces should be weak. Let’s look at retailers in Kigali’s Kimironko market for instance: threat of new entrants – strong; threat of substitutes – strong; bargaining power of customers – strong; bargaining power of suppliers – strong; industry rivalry – strong. Well, it looks like this market isn’t the right fit for you Mr. Aspiring Shoe Vendor. Unless, of course, it’s all you got, and life isn’t just a theory.
