I grew up in a family of four, i am the eldest in the family, with a sibling of two sisters and a brother. I lost my parents at a early age and this taught me to be responsible and care for my young ones, i would go to school without meals, but would try hard to get something in the evening for my sisters and brother to eat, in the aid of my grandmother who also was not able. It was hard times for us and sometimes i was forced to at times dig or work for some homes to get food for my siblings or get a fee for school.
I learn a lot in childhood and learn to do something in order to get a meal or a fee for my studies.
It was not easy even for my grandmother who was so supportive and caring. People in the neighborhood couldn't even support since it was not our culture. it was tough times. Helping out on a duty became my hobby since i learn it was hard work that gives.
I sell materials and handbags and these has helped me have exposure of beauty. i came to learn that women loves to be unique in dressing and in how they look in ceremonies, so i decided to identify some materials that come into the country and sell all in different patterns, and design. My cost range between KES. 800 and KES. 1200.
This has helped me educate and support my younger ones fully and also given me opportunity to go back for my studies, i decided to put shame a side and go back to the lowest level, and am coming up with good marks. An so decided to work hard and pay my fees and my sisters. My business its so encouraging cause at least people like african wear each time they have a celebration,.
My profit has help me pay my tuition fees and my sisters fees too. It has also helped me put up new stall to sell my clothes,handbags and i've also introduced second hand shoes.
I want to build an inbuilt drawers for displaying my materials and giving them as per quality. Also wish to bring in all types of materials from all part of African country. And is left with some cash wish to add on earings, breast lest, handbags and shoes to match each material. This will enable me have a lovely set up of shelves for my clients to have a easy way in selecting what they love.
