i was born in a small village called mbokani in 1988.i went to a local primary school and secondary school nearby where i did well and secured myself a place in the university where i did a B COM Degree in Accounting.having come from a background that was financially challenged my education career was at the verge of collapse but well wishers and the church intervened.I managed to do my degree.necessity is the mother of invention,through the difficult moment my family and I was in,I got a job in one of the wholesellrs shop in our local market as a shopkeeper. my salary was kes.15000.I used to save 2000per month and I did that for 6 months where I got kes.12000.I went and bought 4sacks of maize and 3sacks of beans that costed about 11800.I gave one bag of maize to my family for food.bucause I could not operate the business as a minor..I had to trade at our home.I would walk around the village marketing my products and within a short time I had daily customers. on makueni cereals such as maize,beans,peas,greengrams,sorghum, millet and others are the staple food for kamba community.with such stock..business moves.I have one daughter named mutanu who is ever smiling... she aspires to be a news anchor or a business lady.I love adventure with my family so much
currently i am running a small fleet of 3 motorbikes, and i also changed my business ventures from charcoal and cereals to spare parts business of the motorbikes.
my wife who is also my partner runs a boutique shop where she sells mitumba clothes. .i also run a taxi business where i earn an amount of about 30000 per month. Zidisha has really helped me grow and i think i will not have a challenge in paying the facility.the revenue i get from these business has helped mere add more stock,pay the loans, pay the few dues..i also pay for my sisters college fees and cater for my family needs
le me start by thanking zidisha for their continued support to young entrepreneurs ,it is indeed commendable the efforts you are doing. i said earlier my dream is to become the greatest distributer of cereals in makueni county.its usually said that a journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.i am really believing through the help of zidisha my business will go far
now given the cash by zidisha i will expand my business,buy more stock and make all the necessary efforts to increase my output through better marketing strategies.
