About Me
``
Am called Pamela Awino .I was born in the year 19 70 in Rachuonyo District in Homa Bay County in Nyanza Province in the republic of Kenya .
I attended Schools as follows ,
1.Between the year 1975 to the year 1981 in Seka Primary School .
2.Between the year 1982 to the year 1985 in Nyakach girls high School.
From there I did not go to the University because of lack of fees of which my father was not able to afford to pay. Then I opted to look for a job which I got a casual one with a textile industry for five years .They were paying very little money which was not enough to carter for my expenses and this forced me to look for another alternative which I found to be a business of tailoring,
I joined tailoring Training School for six months and qualified with grade test 3, Then latter started my own tailoring Shop which ' am running up to date .
Am now married with two kids one girl and one boy who are all in high School.
The unique thing in my community where I come from is that girls are not given heritage from the parents.
My hobby is singing both in the Church during Church service and my free time at home with my children.
All my two children want to become Doctors when they grow up.
My Business
I provide Tailoring and dress making services to my customers in this region and beyond.
This service is in great demand because every season people need to have new dresses more especially ladies in this region who buy new dresses every holly day and every season in their life time.
I chose this kind of Business after I observed people were thronging the boutique and fashion shops for new dresses and because am a tailor by profession .
My typical cost and revenue is 20,000KES.
I use my profit I get from my business as follows
1.School fees for my children is 10,000KES.
2.Reinvestment to grow the business is 1,000KES.
3.Home improvement is 6,000KES.
4.church activities is 1,000KES.
