About Me
I was in born in kitui County, in a family of six children and am the first born in my family. I went to kaliku primary school which was 8 kilometers away from my home. Kitui is a semi desert area with high temperature with scarce resources and being marginalized in terms of development. We had to walk for a long distance to get to school. I passed my exams well and joined high school at mutito boys. I completed my high school education through sponsorship from wellwishers. I passed my exam and proceeded to tertiary education at foundation Institute of Africa still through sponsorships. I pursued a diploma in the field of human resources management. Due to scarcity of job opportunities in my country, I didn't get a job at the moment and I applied for a loan through local chamas (youth group) to start my own business. People in my area are social, cooperative, religious and hardworking. I would like my children to be business minded people, respectful, industrious and God fearing, ready to give back to the society.
