I went to the nursery school in 1983 at NGECHA Nursery school in Umuru Division in Kiambu District where I stared performing very well because I was always top 10. in 1986 I joined primary school and continued with the motto of becoming top until I finished started 8 in 1994. I joined a school called Gichoru High School even the principal started recognizing me because of my good behavior . in 1997 I was promoted as a school games captain because I was performing very well even in sides of games. I continued with my education till I finished form four. After attaining c+ from there I started looking for collages where I can keep myself busy before I decided what I can be doing in my life. In 1999 I was invited by my sister in Nanyuki when I decided to learn First Aid in a well recognized Hospital in Nanyuki called Cottage Hospital. After I did it very well they decided to employ me as a driver and first adder. My life begun there because at least I started getting as the end of the month after I worked there for 8 years I decided to upgrade by learning about V.C.T. After searching the college of VCT up and down I was helped by an NGO called APHIA plus but then it was APHIA + so they took me to college in Nakuru and paid for me all the expenses from there they posted me to Nanyuki District Hospital as a VCT counselor where I stared a small business with the money that I had already saved amount to Kshs 150, 000.

God is good my business works well and I decided to buy the bicycle for carrying market goods and for God grace I got bicycle I decided to employ someone because I was working that time, so I did not, hence enough time to satisfy my customer I employed a lady. So after working I was coming direct home to take the order of the things that were requested by the customer plus adding more stocks. For God’s grace that lady worked very well and I decided to marry her because she was very hardworking in the business. From there our business worked very well and we decided to look for a bigger place so that we can put more and more variety of goods. I decided to have a bigger room of two rooms, the bigger room. I decided to keep it as shop and the other room I keep it as a store. Anyway God worked miracuracly as usual in a place that I started buying things in cartons to a producer like some that I know called Sagar limited. So that my business can expand more and more, according to my calculation every month I usually get a profit of 45000-15000 expenditure =30000 profit.
