About Me
I am Howard from Nairobi. I went to Highrise primary school when I was young and living with my grandmother. I never joined college as a result of financial constrains, this made me turn to street life so as to make a living and ends meat.
At the streets, i used to work as a tout and in the process learnt some skills on how to driver, i was employed and work as a town service driver in Nairobi. This made me earn a living and sustained my living in town. In the process, i saw the demand for order in our stage and i decided to open up a sacco called Mwiki sacco where i control the transportation of people as well as the vehicles around.
