My Business

i started my first business in the year 1994 after being employed and i was not succesful and i decided to join the business sector where i opened a small kiosk in our local village and thats when i decided to add more stock to serve more customers.By then there were no any other income sources since we used to pay 1,000 revenue kes to our government.the business was good but i decided to try the meat business and i worked in the meat business for a period of 5 years.I also shifted to that business due to lack of sufficient funds and i went to the nearby forest where farmers were caltivating different types of green vegetables. the profit i had got thereby earlier i bought a second hand lorry which i used to transport the green vegetables like cabbages to our city of Nairobi the business was doing quite good.I had been transporting those greens for a period of time and the business has been so good to me i have educated my children and their school fees i used to get from the business until 2007 when we were affected by the post election violence.the business was not good again since i could not get the cabbages from the nearby farmers
