Hi,
My name is Juliana. I run a salon business and at the same time do small scale farming
I am married with three children who mainly depend on me. I stay in the capital city of Kenya , Nairobi.
Though learned with an undergraduate degree, jobs were not easy to come by. I opted to join the business sector in order to earn a living and to survive. So far I have been able to support my family and raise my children though with difficulty.
But I am not giving up soon. I opted to operate a salon business because I had a talent . I loved plaiting hair ever since I was young. Having learnt that from other older family members who used to do the same. It was an easier business to start as I did not need any training on how to plait and maintain good hair.
I do farming too back upcountry. I
loved farming . It was the main economic activity. It also provided us with food for consumption. There being a high demand for fresh vegetables in the city, I opted to start supplying this precious commodity. So far all has been well. A few difficulties experienced from now and then, but I solder on.
My income source is my salon business and farming.
I have employed two more people to assist me in running day to day operations at the salon.
I have a small farm where I grow vegetables for sale. I also grow crops for consumption by my family.
Both activities enable me to get some little income to tend to my family needs
