Finding a gap in the industry, Kenyan entrepreneurs Mohamud Omari and Rashid Omari founded a Kenyan-made pencil company, manufacturing hundreds of thousands of pencils every year from recycled newspaper at their factory in Nairobi.
At the Momo Pencils factory, old newspapers are put through 18 different processes to produce funky, water resistant pencils that they say can last up to three times longer than ordinary pencils.
