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 have an idea of adding my stork of handbags and am believing that the handbags are now on a high demand because of a newly implemented law here in Kenya that ban the use of plastic bags and now Kenyans has enticed the use of handbags in
order to comply with the law and that has boosted my job .i now need 50dollers to add my stork and I will be so thankful.
