I am an ordinary Kenyan born and raised in a humble background in the rural Rift Valley region. I grew up in both rural and urban settings under care of my granny. In the year 2007 my life and those of others was overturned by post-poll violence in Kenya. My family lost everything in the ethnic war and we've had to start all over again since then. Having been a brilliant person in school, my dreams and future were shattered.
I now reside in Burnt Forest town where I have reinvented my life and tried to earn through hard work despite misfortunes in the past. I work as a self employed videographer, motion designer and a small businessman to try and make ends meet.
I have involved myself in many businesses having failed to secure a job in my country after college. I own a small mobile money transfer shop (Started with previous Zidisha loan) and I also work as a videographer, photographer.
I have been saving towards a quality camera for passports and photos. I need the $10 dollars on top of $20 i have saved to buy the camera. I will be able to compete with rivals who I have been giving work to.
