About Me

I am 39 years of age married and blessed with 3 children a boy and three girls. I raeched in standard seven but due to luck of money,I didnt continue with the education. I was employed as cows care taker for two years and due to my character I was employed in a cereal store. Anyway, I was good conductor and people liked me very much. In 2000 I started my own business of cereal because I liked the job and also the interest it brings. I live in Rongai town at Thairus alongside Rongai secondary ave.

My Business

As per above, I started my business in 2000 and I do buy all types of cereals from the farmers. I do use my bicycle to bring all I buy from farmers to my little store. Whatever I get from my business I pay the business and resindecial house rent, paying of my children school fees and adding my stock step by step. I am planing to buy a motor bike to help me transport cereals from the farmers. My little store is situated alongside Mwalimus ave.

    I am very sorry for not paying my first installment as per date but this was because I was far from where the M- Pesa services cannot be found. Very sorry for that mistake and I do promise it wont happen again.
