My Business
After the death of my husband, l decided to have a business along side other part time jobs to enable me raise the kids.
I decided to go in to second hand clothes, I sell bed sheets, curtains, mattress covers, door mats, pillow cases, duvets etc
One bail of bed sheets for example costs me Kshs 20,000/- and gives me a profit of Kshs 10,000/-
I use the profits in various ways such as school fees, clothing, food expansion of the business, and any other issues that may arise.
