About Me
l was born in nakuru county and attended bahati primary school and later joined bahati girls secondary school.due to lack of school fees l was unable to pursue further education and started a charcoal business in my estate since the demand for the charcoal was high and kerosene and gas was expensive and most of the people couldn't afford them.my mother advanced me ksh 10,000 that l bought fifteen bags of charcoal and the business flourish since l was the only supplier in the area.am also a dairy farmer and do have two milking cows.The income from the sales of milk help me in paying school fees for my two kids.
My Business
l normally buy the charcoal in large quantities and do sell at a profit of kshs 400 per bag.there is always demand for charcoal since its the most affordable source of fuel in kenya today.the charcoal business gives me around kshs 20,000 per month which l normally re invest back to the business. my two cows produce atleast twelve litres of milk that l sell to the local society.this helps me in meeting the needs of my family.if advanced the loan l will buy another grade cow that will enable me to sell more hence more profit from the business.
