About Me

Am Josephine Akoth Kenyan citizen, from Kisumu county nyakach Sub county in a village called Nyadero.

I was born in family of 3, one brother and a sister, my dad and mum have died and my sister. We are remaining with my brother.
Am married with four kids.
Am a form 4 school leaver.
Putting food on the table has been a big problem, that's why I decided to start a small business to help me meet my daily need.

My Business

The business is really a small one, where am selling grains, and offering mpesa servises.

I started with 5000ks which was given by friends after my mums death.

Today it has grown and my account has 50000Kshs.
10000ksh I use to buy grains then the remaining 40000kshs for running mpesa.

At times the money goes to float, sue to the fact that I have many customers with less amount of money.

Project Proposal

Economic strain as at now takes me to stock " Whole" amount into Cereals as Mpesa Business has really come down. Am on my serious research onthe business that am starting soon in substitute of the present.

    The support I got from this community enabled me to add more stock, even though it was small but it helped me.
