My Business

I ran a small business grocery in our community, where I generate a bit of my income to help my family and send my children to school. The grocery shop which I ran in our community is the main source of income. I sale groceries and other food staff in my shop. The goods I sale are very useful to the people in the community because they are consumables on daily basis. Hence the need for me to grow the business and become self sustainable. In our community, am the only with a shop where people can access some good such sugar, bread, eggs, chicken, fish, salt, rice, macaroni and potatoes and other essential good stocked up in the shop.
