About Me
I am the first born To Mr.kennedy Bwire and Mrs Esther Otanga, I went to webuye Ac primary school where I did my primary education,both my parents were casual laboures at the webuye pan-paper factory and when the company closed down they could hardly afford our basics. I went to local day school where i completed my o-levels, I did not have money to proceed to college and so I embarked on job searching,with my level of education ,I couldn't get a well paying job. I got a sales job in an emporium in nakuru,I worked for a year as I saved. with $150 saving I decided to start my own business<I could buy merchandise,such as socks ,paper bags , razor blades and hawk them in the streets these I could not afford to rent my own shop. after six months I had saved $400 that I used to open my own shop, i rented a shop and decided to trade on women shoes,cloths,and children wear,the business is good and slowly expanding.
Our culture is diversified since there are many sub tribes but the most amazing culture is burial rite,we believe in there is life after death and so the dead are buried in city position with some house hold items.
I love singing and I am the choir master in my church. I also like making new friends and nature walk.
My Business
I provide women and children clothing i.e children cloths,women dresses,and shoes. The goods are important because women love new cloths and they will always buy something for the kids.
I choose these business because it is profitable and easy to manage.
my monthly typical costs are $150 for rent and electricity ,my monthly income is $350 per month.
i use the profits from my business ,to support my family,take care of my basics and save money for reinvestment.
