My name is Riziki Suleiman ama resident of mtwapa and a busineslady in mtwapa as well.Am a single mother of two living with them here in mtwapa. my first born is a boy, he is thirteen years old and in class seven and the second is a girl and she is ten years old and in class four. My educational back ground is a secondary school dropout, i left school while i was in form two because my family did not afford my school fees. It was a butter ending as i has my high hopes of doing better. I had to start the search of a job. But due to my low background all the jobs i got were under paying. I thought of stating my own business. I first started a salon, which later i opened a ration shop.Wioth these combined businesses my life is now ok as i get my family requirements and am able to pay for my children's school fees.
Am a serious businesslady, doing my business here in mtwapa. I have a combination of a salon,and a ration shop.With the salon i do this business in the heart of the town. Its situated in a good business place and am confident to say its doing good. With this business i get an income of ksh 15,000 per month after my expenses. risks in this business is that Mtwapa mostly rely on tourists and when its a low season this business is also affected.And with the ration shop, in my shop i sell all types of house hold stuff like food stuff, laundry products, beauty products and many things.With this business i get an income of ksh 10,000 per month With the combined businesses i get an incme of ksh 25,000 per month.With this amount i use ksh 3,000 to pay my house rent and ksh 5,000 for food for the family, ksh 4,000 paying rent of both the salon and the ration shop, i also pay ksh 3,000 for school fees. So i save ksh 10,000 per month.
