after school I started a business of selling cereals from farming homes and selling them to at the market on my own .the business to help me and my mother to keep life going on .from these business I have been able to pay may fees since my mother has been having a challenge of life.i was able to start business from my small pocket money had saved plus the support from my mother and the soft loan got from my uncles I started these while I was in form 4.
I started the business with ksh.15,000 which I started t with 4 sucks of maize at 2,500 I did these at Matayos market .after school I had raised enough money that I was able to get to town and secured a place busia market .

I Am a clearing and forwarding agent at the Busia border with ramsford company .apart from that I buy and sell cereals from Kenya to Uganda sofia . my office located at the border at busia communication house on grown flow the last door.
I sell maize, beans and green grams .The demand is high the fact that Busia is situated in Kenya Uganda border so most of my customers are those who want to cross the border especially those who clear the vehicles and these their people who works here in town.
My business is profitable because I have so many customers so the more I serve the more i earn especially those from schools . The challenge am facing is just lack of capital to expand my business the demand is high than I have. and also to get a bigger store for my goods.
