About Lydia Chege

Lydia Chege is the Johari Business Manager with a key role of driving the success of the Johari Brand.

My work entails managing the day to day activities of the Johari social enterprise, to make certain that we remain focused to achieving the set targets.
For the last two years that I have been with the organization, we have grown to a ready to wear fashion house aiming to have a presence in all major cities of the world. It has been an exciting process working with a talented team comprising of: Kenya and UK Staff, volunteers and the wonderful girls in the Apprenticeship program, to create a label with a promising future. We have a high level design and production process that see to it that we come up with a fine end product.
With the understanding that pursuit of new creative ideas is what drives a successful fashion industry, we recently launched our 2nd collection: Johari Spring Summer Collection 2010 which was the fruits of a hard working and a dedicated team. This has paid back with an overwhelming positive response across the world. We are therefore confident that with the same spirit, our brand can only get better.
Johari stands out as a Social enterprise with a difference; determined to succeed so as to make a difference in someone’s life. What drives me is the understanding that Johari optimal profitability will mean more funds to the Miale programs and more opportunities for young adults.
I am a B.com graduate, MSK certified with over 10 years experience in both social and commercial projects. My goal is to expand my knowledge and exposure on building and sustaining successful social
