I attained form four academic result but the education since primary school was not that smooth. I use to leave school go help my mother brew traditional beer from which i would buy books ,uniform and pay school fees. It was hard to raise money in time hence it affected my academics. When there was no capital after depleting it through fees payment i was forced to go out to all ready harvested gardens and collect the leftover which i could sell to get capital for my mum business. Through this i managed to learn entrepreneurship skills which i latter used when i got married to start my business. I have tailoring skill which i do part time. All this i do to protect my children from what i went through while getting their education. With little saving i hard raised from my farm which my husband hard rented i started the Bags business which was mainly for food provision in my family. After my two children graduated i decided to change the business to beaut shop so as to enable myself a permanent business with comfort . Being a well known woman in my village and town i meet a lot of young ladies and women who are conscious about their outlook and beauty, Having seen this opportunity i decided to open a new business which within a short time i have seen more customer flock in. Two of my son wish to get a formal job while one wants to be a politician. The other who is the first one is an IT specialist and entrepreneur who interested in using technology to improve live of local people. Most of my free time i stay with young ladies and mother and try to educate them on entrepreneurship and how to face life challenges. My past has dedicated my present life hence i can model my future now. I believe zidisha has the same in the heart of its found.
