My name is Douglas.I was brought up in a humble back ground where food the most basic need was scarce,it was real struggle.I went to a public primary school and a public secondary school in our sub-county.raising my school was not easy,my parent sometimes seak permission from head teacher due to school fees payment delay.After high school i had to look for something to do and raise some cash for my upkeep and to support my siblings.i raised some cash and started sellings fruits on the streets.i save the little profit i make,buy more fruits from local farms and the bussines is doing very well.
I buy fruits:mangoes,banana,pawpaw,watermellon from local farmers and nearby market and sell them at my local grocery.i cut them to different sizes and sell them at a fare price
I will expand my grocery and hire some people to help me serve the customers.this will motivate the local farmers to produce more fruits has there is market.it will help in creating employment in the rural areas because they will hire people to work in their farms.
