My names are BAYA TSOFA MWENI, from Malindi Kenya. I was very bright in primary school but that didn't help me much in secondary school. Coming from a very poor family I mostly missed classes to do some work to get fees. I ended getting a lower grade (c-) and that why I ended working as a Cleaner at Casino Malindi. The salary being small I couldn't manage to assist anyone as every penny went to debts. We started a merry go round with my work mates and I invested my share in buying tomatoes, cabbages. Bananas, onions for resale at a profit. Am now able to get my daily bread from their. I feel exploited working for ten thousand a month but because I do work night shifts am able to run both my business and the job. Am still doing. my business outside someone, house but God willing Intend to have a secure place where I can leave my stock at close of business..
The sources of my Income for now are from the business and the salary from my job. I have a very fertile piece of land which is 300 metres away from a lake. My plan is to grow my business and become the wholesaler of my products . My stock that is the cereals, the tomatoes. Potatoes., Brinjals, onion s, bananas are available all round the year and so I can feel secure doing this business as it is a must for people to eat.
I intend to increase the stock of the existing goods and introduce new demanded items.I intend to start supplying all the food items to my nearby primary school which will greatly reduce their cost of sending someone to the market and in turn boost my earnings.
