The enterprise

Nyamira Young Women Miners Enterprises recovers mineral byproduct and processing residue in the Kisii–Nyamira belt, grades it locally, and is building the record that would let it be sold formally to industrial users.

Approximately thirty women are associated with the enterprise. The active count is not verified from records.

The enterprise was registered in 2019. That is a registration date. It is not an operating record, and we do not describe ourselves as having operated continuously since then.

The enterprise is a business name registered under the Registration of Business Names Act (Cap 499). This matters more than it first appears, and it is stated here rather than left for a reader to discover.

A business name registered under Cap 499 has no legal personality separate from its proprietor. It is not a company.

Our operating position is that registration is not authorisation, and we do not present it as one. We hold no licence, permit, authorisation or certification of any kind.
