My Business

Am a successful businesswoman here in mtwapa. doing a combined business, i have a poultry farm and also have a soapstone business. Business in mtwapa is how you organize your business, with my combined businesses i get an income of ksh 40,000 per month. i face risks in these businesses,like low season, with the soapstone business, this affects the business as it rely on tourists, and with the poultry business, bad weather is also a challenge, because bad weather brings illness to the chicks.With the revenue i get from the two businesses i use ksh 5,000 to buy food for my family, ksh 8,000 for house rent, ksh 10,000 for school fees, i also spare ksh 5,000 for emergencies and other expenses. so i save ksh 12,000 per month which i can use to repay my zidisha loan.
