I was born in a family of three. Being the first, I have had to make sacrifices in order for my other siblings to have a chance to study, since my parents do casual job which are not so reliable.
After my O-levels, I worked in a clothing store, thereafter in a phone & accessories shop where I used to sell phones and operate m-pesa [mobile money transfer]. After there, I was employed as a cyber[cafe] attendant, where I gained passion for the cyber business.
Later I bought a desktop and a printer with which I started with my printing and type setting job, which I operate today.
My business involves printing, typesetting, writing people's projects and solving other business printing issues. I also help people in making online job applications and accessing various government services like applying for a KRA PIN or driving license. My typical costs are papers, offices space, electricity, and internet. I normally use my profits to support my family and siblings who are still in school.
