Born as the first born in a family of eight, I was raised in a family which was well up financially. My parents were able to educate me up to class eight and left me there in order to cater for the rest of my siblings. After the completion, I worked at vibaruas and was able to get enough capital to start my own business. I started a charcoal business and after a while I got married to my wife. I have been blessed with two kids one at 0 and the other is at age 5. The firstborn wish to be a doctor and the other a civil engineer. That is why I need to boost my business to educate them so that they achieve their dreams.
I run a mixed shop which sells spinach, kales, charcoal. this business is doing well since people have to cook and eat daily. The business has a running cost of approximately Kshs. 20000 and in a day it can generate a profit of Kshs. 700. I use this profit to boost the business, pay school fees and other home expenses.
If given the money I will add three bags of charcoal with the money. This will make me even have time to sell the charcoal without fail die to low supply of charcoal. The demand is very high for charcoal during this cold season
