My name is Collins Ochieng. Ochieng is a male name that originates from the shores of Lake Victoria. I was born in western region of Kenya in Busia county. Iwas raised by single mother who only sell dagaa(omena) to make end meet.
I am the first born in the family of five.In our village(Nyambula)learning wasn't a common practice. Despite that my hard working mother was very keen to make us attend our school. I excelled well in the national examination despite the challenges that were soo many in the village.
After one year I was selected to join high school.Life was very difficult here since the school fees and upkeep money was high for my unemployed mother.After all these i realized that when icome up with idea of poultry farming i will make it.On my very fast holiday I bought two hens with one cork.I left them for my mother who was to ensure they are well taken care of.
I raised my schoolfees through selling of the chicken together with the profit that mum had saved.
I am someone of positive mind and able to execute hard task with minimum supervision. I was requested to join football school team after doing well in interclasses competition.
I helped my team achieve many trophies and was name the western giants.I finally done my exam and attained grade A minus that enabled me to join Meru university .Iam currently studying bachelor of economics .It is my third year .I benefit from Zidisha organization and I believe because of my excellent payment record my lenders would be willing to lend me again.Thank you.
My entrepreneurial skills has helped me a lot.Besides having poultry at home I also sell mitumba shoes and clothes to students in school.My revenue doesn't go below KES 400 in a day.I fetch the mitumba shoes at Gikomba market in Nairobi at KES 150 per pair and sell it at KES 550. Making a profit of KES 400 only in one pair. I attributes every success in my efforts. Currently a friend of mine introduced me to freelancing business that I want to practice it. I therefore need to buy alaptop that will cost me KES 35000 .I have saved upto 20000KES and i appeal to my family Zidisha to lend me the remaining amount so that my dream can come true.I am progressing well with Zidisha Currently i own 10 gas cylinders which is estimated to be USD 300 i have also rise to become a volunteer mentor with 100% payment record Longlive zidisha
