I was born and grew up in kisii land.I went to local junior primary and joined secondary education of which i completed in the year 2011.I later joined college where I studied civil engineering diploma level.
I overcame hardship through patient and working hard in school thou the journey was not that easy.
when i joined college life become a challenge since the issue of rent ,fees and other needs were expensive in that my family could not give support to all i demanded.
it gave me a challenge to start a business of my own so that I could be self reliant.
I our kisii land is so fertile in that case we practice agriculture in livestock keeping and growing of crops.this agriculture is our main source of income and foods. In fact most people practice it and we get good harvest at the end of the period due to good climatic conditions in the place. I have two children boy and a girl of which both want to become doctors.
when I was young I used to play football and watching movies.
In filming industry I do video production and take steel photos which is now my daily business.have been doing this for the last 3 years.what I can say is that I love the industry more and more.Am also at collage where I take students photos and gete paid.
the services we offer are very useful to our community due to entertaining and keeping records for remembrance for mans`past events.
I decided to choose the kind of business because I loved photograph since my childhood.it also requires less skills for one to work in the field.it does not require more capital for one to start the business since one borrow machines for work.
Whatever I get from my business as a profit I use it for school fees ,investment in growing business and home improvement.
I shall use my loan to pay school fees to enrol for my degree.
This will enable me to complete my studies.
Nowadays education is very necessary for the better future
Will continue with my studies later on after my degree program.
Am doing my degree in civil engineering.
The course is very marketable more so when it comes to construction season.
I therefore arg more youths to borrow from zidisha for them to continue for their studies,.
