About Me
I am 39 years old recently married. I went to Chesilyot primary in my neighbour and proceeded to Kabianga High School where I completed my O level in 1994. I also attained college education in Information Systesms. I used to work in hardship areas of Marsabit in an NGO and experience the livelihoods of the communities there. I would like to venture into serious dairy farming where I will produce more milk and sell dairy breeds of high quality.
I came to start my business after my contract job came to an end. I decided to start on dairy farming and now have three dairy cows of my own. Land in our culture is of paramount importance as it is one of the factors of production and for livelihoods. My children are still very young but will guide them in their preferred careers.
I used to play football where I could make a ball out of wastes like rags and polythene bags. I am now an avid reader of business and international real life stories.
My Business
I used to earn a net salary of Kshs. 60,000 per month in my last job. I am currently engaging in dairy farming as a business and at times participate in government tenders mainly supplying goods and offering consultancy services. Milk and dairy breeds are of high demand in our area as we are along the high way and commercial centers. I chose Dairy farming because I have a ready land and understand the business well. I normally incur costs like buying feeds, labour and vaccination. I use my income to expand my business and sustain my family.
