I grew up in Nyalenda estate from my childhood and went to Kibuye mixed primary school where i sat my KCPE and then later joined Muslim secondary school. After secondary school, i help my Mother Ruth to run her small business of selling Yams in Nyalenda, through door to door delivery where i learned practical business skills and and later started my own business.
I started selling fresh fish at Oile market, a larger public fish market in Kisumu, I have been running this business for the last 2 year. Along side fish, i incoporate selling of Yams that i get from my mother stocks.
My dream is to be the largerst supplies of fresh Tillapia fish to Kisumu County and be exporter to Europe that has huge demand for Nileperch fish
Previous
Most of my fresh fish came directly from Lake Victoria. I also have some few customers that make order to supply them in Niarobi. I started this business 2 years ago after learning practical business skill from my mother. Much of the capital was lend to me by my mother.
The business challenge that i do supply small quantity while there is huge demand because of lack of enough capital thus im not able to expand quickly. My customers are individual buying fish but i also plan to supply hotels, and exporters which need huge capital investment.My business goal is to be the leading suppliers of fresh fish from Lake Victoria to global market .
To increase my fish stock, i will purchase fish for Kshs 150 and Ksh 300 for transport and other for administrative. The loan will help me increase my sales level and also my profits
