About Me

My name is Esbon Kiptum fron Eldoret Town , I was born in the year 1987 in Uasin Gishu County in Rift Valley Province in the republic of Kenya.
I went to Kidiwa Primary in 1992 to the year 1999.And due to lack of School fees I stop there, I did go to high School.
Then latter After I was given some little money from my father and I started backing Mandazis (Bans) Which I am doing until now and it is a good wok, it is paying if a good capital is invested.
As I said before After drop out of School my father gave only 100KES and I started Backing Mandazi and started selling to my customers.
From my tribe or community where I come from, every male child after you have been circumcised and you drop out of School then, you must steal at least 5 cows from another community is when you are counted a man in the society of which I opposed and was sent way without being given my share of land as a son in the community.

All my two children want to be teachers if grow up.
My hobby is ridding the Donkey in my free time in the evening.
