I live in Kisumu city where i was also born in the late 80s, i was born to a family of seven my parent were farmers. I went to Kilisoi Primary school in Mbeeree and dropped out of school in class seven because of lack of school fees. I stayed at home helping my parents with their farming until i got married and moved with my husband from the village to Kisumu town.
My husband was a bus driver operating from kisumu to Nairobi, he is the one who assisted me to start the business of selling green grocers and fruits in town. I chose this business because with food one is assured of customers because people eat everyday.
I have four kids, two in secondary school and two in primary school/
i sale vegetables and fruits in town, that is kisumu city. I was assited with some capital by my husband two years ago and managed to start the business.
The goods that i sale in the market is useful because it's food and what people require for living each and everyday.
