I was born and raised in Kuria in very hardship with my parents having to work on tobacco farms to get us food,clothes and pay fees for our education.
I learnt up to Form 2 and dropped out of school for lack of fees. I joined farming and managed to raise some capital to roast groundnuts for sale and I later started a small shop called a kiosk which I operate with the help of my wife.
I'm married with four children all of whom want to be teachers.
I do some farming and I like singing in the church.
I sell fast moving goods like sugar,salt,oil,tea ,soap etc. I chose this business because most people use them and they are abit cheap.
They are used in everyday life and in every home.
They not highly profitable but they sell quickly ,I get some good profit because for every KES 10000 used for new stock I get 1000/- more in two weeks.
The profits I get I buy more goods ,buy some food ,pay some fees for children and also some home materials.
The business helps me.
I will buy 10kg sugar for my store at 7 US dollars. This will increase my supplies and sales. I will be able to get 2.5 dollar profit.
