Judith Karia (Tanzania) Ms. Karia is a problem solver in the community. Local farmers faced the problem of the lack of a sustaining market for pineapples and hibiscus flowers. This problem was accelerated by the unavailability of industries that use these fruits as their raw materials for manufacturing their end products. Ms. Karia established a winery making wine from pineapple and hibiscus flowers. More than half of the local farmers that supply her with the raw materials for wine production are women and she managed to employ other female youths for different positions in the winery. Her entrepreneurial efforts have made a big impact in the community by providing markets to local farmers and employment opportunities for youths in a community that was facing uncertainty.
