I am Erick Otieno Juma, the fourth-born son in a family of six. Relatively all my siblings are in business and the young ones are in school. I grew up in Western Kenya, did my primary and high school education in Siaya County, and later joined Moi University in Eldoret for a BSc in Business Administration.

In 2015 while was trying to make ends meet, and also support my siblings, life took a turn that became so hard, and at some point towards the end of 2017, I had to sell my properties and travel back to the village. I indulged in small scale kales farming and would sell them to the kiosk mama mbogas. One morning in 2018, I woke up to cows on the farm finding it all clear and I moved to Homabay for omena and fish mongering and selling but all didn't go well and I moved again back home till 2021 when I moved to Nairobi for sales job in a microcredit organization. To support my family, I was encouraged to start a kinyozi shop and recently a cereals shop and at home started poultry farming.

This year for the cereals shop i paid 92 USD to our local county authority for business licence and a monthly rent of80 USD. I also pay 100 USD per month towards the wages of my employees.

I do re-invest my profits in my business, support to my parents and my siblings.

I am also into mentoring youths of life skills and entrepreneurship also support in sports activities. Having a daughter, of whom I desire to be a doctor and and entrepreneur

My business operates currently registered under the name Mobreeze Enterprises.

In the location I have set the barber shop is well populated and with mostly Somalis and they are good on their hair being well maintained. Also he cereals shop is in a good populated area and its really viable.

This is the sixth project that am applying, the last project I took performed tremendously and am happy to inform members of the profit that I was able to make,I now request members to help me find my project, there are equipments that lies at the port of Mombasa and if the funds take long to reflect, the goods might incur demurrage which might lead to the loss in my business
