I lost my parents at a very early age .I was brought up by an uncle ,who also sponsored my education.At a tender age it dawned on me that the only thing that could change my lifestyle was education .I therefore got focused and determined to do my best in my studies.
With God's intervention, immediately after higher education i was employed by Barclays Bank International where i worked for 23 years before exiting through early retirement
Thereafter, i joined a local bank namely Family Bank, where i worked for one year and later left for self employment.Given my background i have a passion for working with children and therefore the best business that could match my passion was education center.The community that surrounds the area of operation does not embrace education as parse and therefore sponsoring some children is inevitable.My biological children took from me and two of them joined the banking industry .The 3rd born is a third year student in the university.
During my free time i like reading christian literature.
The business is a private education center where we teach and guide children from ages 3 years to 14 years .
Private investors in education sector are very few and the government facilities are not able to accommodate all the school going children. Therefore, the demand for such institutions is high.I like working with children with an objective of changing their lifestyle positively, through equipping them with knowledge and helping them sharpen their talents.We offer both boarding and day facilities where almost all children feed from the school .The tuition fee paid by parents is used to pay teacher's and other worker's salaries and the profits realised are reinvested in the growing business.
We want to undertake a project of buying laptops for our pupils .Currently, the school enrollment from class one to class eight stands at about 200 pupils.Considering the cost of such a one laptop is about US$235.29,the total cost will be US$47058.The project may take a long period to be fully implemented but along the way we may call well wishers to come to our aid.
