My name is Jared Getange Bosire aged 24 years.I was born in Kisii county and studied in the same background.My primary education started in Eronge primary school from where I sat my Kenya certificate of primary education in 2004 and joined Itibo Boys High school.
In my four year course at Itibo Boys, I was able to attain a university entry grade in 2008 which saw me join Moi University to study Bachelor of commerce and finally my graduation from the same institution in 2012.
During my education I underwent through a series of challenges the most disturbing one being financial hardship.My parents were paying fees for three children in school and it wasnt that easy.
I was determied to work extra hard and sometimes go without a mea so that i could balance my survival with what i had for survival in terms of money.
Startimg my own means of income generation was the only idea that stood my way but still i lacked startup capital. I talked to a friend who loaned me some cash which enabled me to start selling scratch cards to fellow university students albeit at a low profit.Knowing that Rome wasn't built in a day as they say,I kept on saving a little and finally was able to buy a digital camera, a business that opened a way for more reasonable income.This helped me clear the loan owed to my colleague and later on started selling second hand clothing and shoes a business that still want to expand.
Meru is uniquely known for its evergreen environment and banana farming and also a famous plant known as Miraa.It also offers an easy access to Mount Kenya.
I love singing and meeting new people.I would like my children to grow up and become focused in creating new things for the benefit of humanity.
I sell second hand clothes to individuals residing within the town and partially take photos in events.
\My customers are diversified since this is a town.We have a category of old people,working class and the students learning in various institutions within this town.
These clothes are in demand as people find them cheaper and long lasting.
I chose this business as it offers me an opportunity to sell to people cheaply what can be referred to as a basic human needs;clothing.
The business incurs cost of rented space,electricity since i sell up to late night and water.
I use the profits to pay for my rent,pay may part time employee and pay for my fees in a course that I am currently undertaking.
am going to use the loan to buy cloths and sell them.i believe am going to sell at a profit.part of the profit a repay loan and others i save for further investment.
