I am a first born in a family of seven, two girls and five boys. Born 39 years ago, i attended Huruma primary school and 10 years later joined Nyansabakwa for my secondary level. I did not join secondary because my parents were not stable financially as there were also my other bothers and sisters who still needed their attention. I started planting vegetables in our homestead. I used cow-dang as my fertilizer and chicken wastes. I later put into proper use the gains i got from the sale of the veges to start rearing of poultry. I later on moved to a nearby market to start the sale of tomatoes which i do to date. People here are friendly. I have 3 children, 1 in high school and the other in lower primary. I like going out with my children to a nearby church whenever i am free.
I buy tomatoes in wholesale and then sale to small quantities to other upcoming businessmen. Tomatoes are fast moving because every house hold cooks with them. My costs for 1 box of tomatoes is 7.5 dollas. After saling 1, i end up getting 3 dollas as profit. My profits are mostly used to mantain my stocks as well as buying clothing for my children. It enables me to meet other daily demands.
