About Me

My name is Felix Okoth. I am a Kenyan, 27yrs of age.
I grew up in the slums of kawangware in Nairobi and honestly life wasn't easy there. I was brought up from a humble background, with both parents, 5 brothers and a sister.
Our parents tried their best to take care and educate us but unfortunately most of us did not proceed past highschool.
Back in 2013,while in form 2 at Jamhuri high school in Nairobi, my father got an accident and so he couldn't provide so i had to drop out of school second term... Mum sold some Samosas though that was only enough to cater for food.
Fortunately, missing school was the turning point in my life, i got introduced to an NGO,Kito international in kawangware... where i got to learn entrepreneurship and life skills for the 3 months i missed school.
Also while at the organization, i got to learn about making packaging bags and other branding and printing skills.
The organization also managed to offer me fees to go back to school.
The skills i got back then is what i focused on after highschool, got employed for a few years and then the year 2023 i officially started my own company, FELIC PACKAGING AND BRANDING.
At my company we offer various printing, packaging and branding services and also offer training to youths so that they can also start up something that will ensure their stability and get them out of stress,streets, drugs and unemployment.
I really want to expand my business so as to offer solutions to my beloved clients as well as the society.
