I was born in Kitale . The environment of kitale is very good for me that I decided to do business here. I began by being employed as a shop attendant in a Mobile shop and finally was able to start my own business that has sustained my family and my other siblings who rely on me for their education and livelihoods.
Im a basketball coach in Lodwar town because this is the only way I can make an impact to the society around me.
kitale is a cosmopolitan town and I have been doing petty errands to people since I grew up. I therefore chose to professionalize my past time to a business opportunity.
My shop is situated at the main bus terminus in Lodwar town. All travelers from and to kitale take their bus from this shop. I have opened a Mobile phone charging shop where I also offer other services. I sell water, soda and also keep travelers bags for a fee. I also do other petty errands such as pay electricity bills, parcel deliveries and storage for people and businesses within town. I also sale Mobile phone batteries and sell mobile airtime (credit cards) for Safaricom and Airtel. I chose this business because of the stress I underwent once when my mobile phone had no charge and I had to be off air. Many people identify with this situation. To bring a solution to myself and others, I thought of a place where one can charge his laptop, mobile phone while browsing the internet and carry a bottle of cold water or Soda for his or her journey.I aim at having a cybershop in the heart of town where travelers will use for their relaxing as they travel or wait for the bus. My main challenge is to offer more services such as Mpesa and Airtel Money services and increase the Credit cards stock
I want to add one more till for selling Safaricom Airtime at Ksh. 2,000. This means that I can serve 2 customers at the same time and thus become even efficient to my clients who are always on the rush because most of them are passengers. I hope to get double the profit im getting right now from Mpesa services which means that I will be able to put up another shop and also support my family comfortably.
