ABOUT MY FAMILY
I was born third in a family of eight, six children and two parents. All was not well due to financial need. My father was hard working in small scale farming and raising school fees was not that easy for six children. Despite of many challenges we are managing in life growing slowly in our businesses and in our academic profession.
As children we are working our best to see the life our parents improve. It have been always my dream for my family to stabilize financially, and this propels me to work an extra mile in business.
