I am the second born in a family of 9 children. My parents happened to be low class citizens with megre earnings from casual jobs. with this minimal income they were not able to pay my school fees as well as for my elder sister. therefore I relocated to the capital city at age of 19 to seek employment inorder to provide for my needs and also to support my family. after long struggle I managed to save and open a second cloth selling shop that i run to date. in my locality life is so hard that only hard work pays.
I run a small scale second hand cloth selling shop in the city of Nairobi. Its from this business that i obtain all my income that goes along in providing my family needs. I landed in this business because I had previously been employed to sell the same produts and so I got a lot of experience in the same. my earnings from this business has all along been helpful in covering recurrent bills such as rent, food, transport, school feees etc. I started small but has since grown and still looking forward to expand even to a larger scale.
I intend to rent a larger space and also acquire additional stock of clothes as well as shoes. This is because quite often customers have asked for variety of second hand wear products such as shoes. Thus supplying them with these products will help meet their needs and on the other hand increase my income from approximately Ksh.4500 to Ksh. 6000 per week.
