About Me

am Sarah Ongombe , I was born in the year 1981 in Kakamega County in Western Province in the republic pf Kenya.
I went to School in Kidiwa Primary School in Eldoret town between the year 1986 to the year 1993.I did not go to high School because my parent did not have enough money to pay for the School fees but I resorted to do the work of painting for people the colors they want in their houses and this gave me some small capital to begin the shop keeping Business which am doing till to date.

My community is very unique in that after you have completed your Primary level of education then you are considered very much educated and therefore you are expected to earn a living of your own and provide for the rest of your relatives or extended family.
Am now married to one husband and we are blessed with two children One Boy and one girl and both are in lower Primary School in Kidiwa.
