About Me

I am single, honest and hard working man we were born six, including two boys and four girls, only the last born is still at school but the rest completed the secondary level and two of my sisters are married with kids. My dad is a retired officer and I have been helping him so much to cater for the family expenses as I, am the eldest son of the family. I will get married after six month as arrangements are on the way. I finished my carpentry college in the year 1999 with a pass. I have been struggling hard to make ends meet, especially during my school studies I was sometimes forced to work for a day or a week in order to get school as dady retired so many years a ago while I was at primary level. Right now I am the one responsible le for our last born who is in secondary level . My mother is old to stand for our daily expenses she is expecting me to cater for her daily needs so to my father who looks strong but has no means and ways to cater for our daily needs. I am the one responsible for the family now but I thank the almighty God for His constant great help .

I have been doing this business at our local trading center where by it comprised of the District Officer, the Chief the businessmen, the bodaboda riders ,security men ,teachers ,drivers and so many government officials in the area. These people have been my potential customers for over ten years . I have been getting the materials from different parts of country but mostly I have getting them from my area at a low costs though sometimes am forced to get them from border of my country about four hundred kilometers away from my location. I do produce clean work hence I have been maintaining and retaining my customers for over ten years. Most of the people prefer my commodities as it is professional and looks unique all the time and worth second glance. I have got three school which I repair their school chairs and desks including all the furniture’s . I have an order of more than five hundred desks to be made by January next year of a nearby primary school. With that three schools that I repair their desks and chairs when broken I have been able to make a profit of thirty thousand a month a part from other orders from other places.
