About Me
I was born in Kiambu county but my parents moved to Nyandarua thats where i started my school until i finished my O level.Afterward i joined a college to do business management in nairobi .Afterwards i was unable to secure a job so i went back home to assist my parents in farming.after a year i needed to do something so i was offered a job as a caretaker in Ngong and since i was provided with accommodation ,i was able to start saving part of my salary to start a small business of my own.My employer offered me a place just outside the flat to set up a green grocer stand and thats how i started.
My Business
Apart from been a caretaker,i managed to open a green grocer just outside the flat were i stay and since its just next to main road,it did not take long before i started receiving clients.My future goals are to open a chain store of fresh groceries and with the help of zidisha and having seen how it has helped many make their dream come true,its my prayer too i will be considered to be one of the beneficiary too.
