About Me

My name is Esther kimitei,in 2009, I entered university facing financial challenges as an orphan. With limited support from my sister, I needed a way to make ends meet. Observing a large student population on campus, I had an idea to sell sweets to my fellow students. Despite discouragement from friends who felt it was unsuitable, I started with just 500 Kenyan shillings and soon turned a profit.
By the end of 2010, I had saved 75% of my earnings. I continued the business in 2012 and replicated this savings rate. In 2014, I ventured into a small successful hotel near the school. The following year, I expanded further, establishing a retail business near my home, providing jobs for three individuals.
In 2016, I started an MPESA business alongside my retail venture, and both are flourishing. Now, in 2024, I'm planning to open a beauty shop. Reflecting on my journey, I often wonder what would have happened if I had listened to my friends. The lesson I've learned is that anything is possible if you trust in God, believe in yourself, and listen to your inner voice.

My Business

I run a retail food business called "Hussler Choma." My primary focus is preparing ready made and packing food when customers place orders, whether through phone calls or by visiting us in person. I take pride in offering affordable food options that cater to the average citizen's budget, all while maintaining a commitment to using the finest quality ingredients available in the market. My goal is to consistently meet and exceed customers' culinary expectations.
Currently making an average daily income of 100 us dollars minus expenses.
