I was born In Eldoret raised by a single mother, I went to Uasin gishu primary school upto standard eight and sat for Kenya certificate of primary Education (KCPE). I went to Kapsoya secondary and did my Kenya certificate of secondary Education (KCSE). I joined Moi university main campus in Eldoret for my degree in computer science.
While young life was full of mixed challenges, we were six in our family and things were not that good, My mother inspired me to work hard in life. She used to say work hard for better life, I tried my best and now I can testify that if not for my parents I couldn't be were I am.
My business is a boutique shop, i sell mens and ladies fashion clot-things, I started the business with 1000 us dollars, I bought several bale's of lady and men cloths at 500 us dollars, bought several shoes and sandals at 500 us dollars, since then I have been putting back my profit to stocking the business as I try to meet my demand.
I have seen it grow to from 1000 us dollars in stock to 3000 us dollars and 1000 us dollars in running capital.
I plan to expand the shop so to accommodate more dummies and clot-things. My plan to invest in babies clothing section is still on, thoo faced with challenges due to fuel prices hike which leads to extra cost in transportation from wholesalers.
I thank God the business managed to survive COVID pandemic, I hope to make more this season.
Once granted the loan I will stock the shop with babies fashion clothes, This is a way to expand and offer variety of clothings.
