My names are Pauline wamuchwa and I was born in kakamega county in the year 1986. I joined navagholo primary school in the year 1991 and completed in the year 1998 and latter joined uasingishu high school and I completed in the year 2002. After I completed high school ,my father was retrenched from job and was unable to take me to college. I stayed home for five years and I was latter employed by my aunt to supply handbags to her cliants in eldoret town ,that is from the year 2008. I worked for her for five years because she paid me very little amount of money and in 2012, I had saved 20 thousand shs and I decided to start my own business.
My business is of selling handbags,briefcase and suitcase. This handbags are on demand since the year 2013 when our government enacted a law that barn the us of nylon bags because they said that paper bags are not good on environment and the Kenya n government emphasize more use of handbags and that makes me smile. I choose this kind of business because is the one that am experienced in and I know where to buy at a fare price and where to sale and get good profit because I was trained by my aunt when I worked for her.my net profit per month is 30000kshs per month. 10% to church, 20% my children's school,30% my house rent,30% reinvesting to grow my business.
I want to rent a bigger shop for my business that will accommodate a large number of my stock .Am willing to include clothes for sale in my shop that will add more value in my business that is rapidly growing since I joined Zidisha. Thanks .
