I moved from I moved from Iten in 1986 and came to live in Nakuru in a village called Morop. Am a real residential in this village. I own a small shop located in this village where i earn for my family. Am struggling to educate my children since i did not proceed further with my education during those early days. I would like to learn more by enrolling in a college where i can get to have an opportunity to study. Morop is just a neighboring village next to kiptangwanyi trading centre, i am happy to get zidisha news from my friend, Abraham Mwangi who is also our group chairman.in fact i am one of the sinior community official I am the chairman of Divisional peace committee and Mr Abraham is my vice chairman and we are working together with the provincial Administration and we are doing good in keeping peace in this area.

My Business

One of the challenges i used to face, was transportation but am happy i'v managed to buy a new motorcycle which i use to transport goods from kiptangwangi trading center which is about 2 kilometers to Morop. I will be glad if i get a loan from zidisha which will enable me to expand my business.one of the challenges which have been facing this business is transportation most of my clients are willing to take commodities from my shop due to low prices they usually collect my goods which i have already taken from Nakuru,I am planning to open another to our nearby trading centre.
