    May 22, 2015 /

    “Dreams do come true,” that is probably the first thing that Vicky Kimuhu will tell you if you asked her to narrate her life story. Vicky, a single mother of one child, is enthusiastic about the team work involved in shipping finished goods from the Wildlife Works Kasigau Corridor REDD+ Project EPZ factory to their final destination abroad.

Together with his colleagues, he works to ensure that the company vehicles are in top-notch condition at all times.
