About Me

First I was born and brought up in a rural area where my parents were mere peasant and practiced mixed farming.
My parents have been struggling to bring us up with a lot of difficulties. We relied solely on farming to for food as my parent could do old jobs simply to keep us alive. School fees was a huge burden as for my parents as few of us managed to complete school. I managed to go through primary and secondary education but it was an uphill for my parents to afford a college fee for me.
I stayed at home for quite some time before going to my uncle's place in town. While in my uncle's home I use to help him with his job of sale of Second hand clothes and shoes. So I gained a lot of skills on how to sell clothes and shoes. With time my parents offered to lend me some little money and i started selling my own clothing. It was not easy as it was challenging when it rains and when it is extremely dusty in dry season. I later got some funds from a friend and moved to a stall where I keep high standard fashioned clothes and shoes. This is how I came to own a business.

My Business

my business I purely sales of clothing products.
I sell clothes for Men and Women as well as children. These goods are always on high demand since i deal with sale of basic needs besides being the fashioned type that makes them even more on demand.
I decided to choose this business because I am experienced in it and I loved the business as it gives me my daily bread and pays for my bills.
Also i incur cost of rent, electricity and transport.
My profit usually goes towards reinvesting and meeting the above cost of running my business. I also help my parents back home and the needy through our church.
