About Me

.My name is Naitayuang Lenjir. I’m a married woman with five children. Four of my kids are in school and one is under age. My husband has some other two wives. Each wife struggles with minimal assistance from the husband to provide daily household requirements. In the year 2007 I persuade my husband to give me one bull to start a small business which he agreed. Although family catering in the Maasai setup is not a woman’s role. I opened a small shop at Sekenani trading centre which is near to our village. Beautiful Maasai shukas & their ornaments, food stuffs are the main goods sold in my shop. After a while (five months) I started moving my goods to the main open air markets in the Mara region (Oloolaimuti on Tuesday, Talek on Wednesday).

My Business

In 2007 I persuaded my husband to give me one bull to sell and start a business to make profit to meet my basic needs. I opened a shop in Sekenani trading center close to our village. I do sell masai shukas and blankets, food stuffs, ornaments and the cultural artifacts plus school uniforms. In 2008 my business grew and I bought a semi permanent structure in Sekenani for 80,000. I also opened a small butchery next to the shop. The business helped provide school fees, clothing, livestock drugs, and food to the family and my husband gave me 10 bulls to buy a truck that I use to buy stock and take my goods to the open air markets of Oloolamutia and Talek. I have to fuel and pay the driver to the market and pay 7,000 sh to the expense for five days in a week. 15,000 sh for purchase of stock every week and sell 5,000 sh per day.
