I was born 25years a go in a humble child loving family, being the only boy,I accompanied my 57years dad when I was 5years old to our local rich lady,clean her compound and by dusk,we could trail back home with a bite for the stomach to make a day.by then my dream of becoming a football was slowly capturing my mind,till I when I joined my nearby primary school when I was 7years old.we were trained by our late games teacher,Mr Raphael Fondo,and when I reached standard five,I joined the school team as a striker making it reach the national level. When I completed my o level,I couldn't make it to continue with my secondary education, by then very rare for ourvl culture to make such a step,I went back to the society, formed my team and trained it as majority had not gone to school.we registered it to the zonal sports federation, and started participating in tournament s,we scoped several awards for being at the top rank.the little that we could get,we used it in our uwezo organisation to move around sensitize the society to take their children to school,and the rest we used to manage our team by buying new games items and also manage our families. Through it ,I managed to educate my young sister and my kid to make their dreams of becoming a nurse and journalist respectively come true.my football,my hobby,my work,my life!
In my team,in every season for competition, which comes four times a year,I provide games kits,ball shoes,first aid drugs, balls,players permit, and all requirements which are high demanded to enable the team to participate in tournament. Not less than 30000ksh is used in each tournament. I choose this business as way of motivating youth to realize their talents and also through our organisation to sensitize the society to take their kids to school. When we win,the profit from it is used to manage our team, make our move of sensitization in our organisation become more active and also manage our families.
I want to buy new games socks for my football team costing $10 which is a requirement for the ongoing tournament,am sure as now,we are unbeaten and we have only two games left,i am sure we are the winner and we will get an envelope with 72 000ksh.,making a profit of 32000ksh.
