Currently I am in my third year of study first semester in JKUAT university having come from a rural primary and secondary school .Life is not all that easy what have made be seek for financial assistance in order to complete my studies and support my family. This have not always been easy. At times I have been forced to call off a semester in order to hustle for finances from hawking jobs and at times working out for wages all this to see my dreams come true.My academic journey have been much tough but I have hope that soon my dreams will come true. In my culture men are the bread winners of the family hence also my motivation to work extra very hard.My land is rainy,and with very good tourist herb Mt. Kenya.

My Business

-cakes 100packets@KES 40 per packet
the sale per week earns me about 50 us dollars which I use to support my widowed mum and paying my school though not enough since my dad passed when we were young.
