About Me

I am a 21 year old born again christian lady.I am a student at Mount Kenya University,MKU per-suing Bachelor of clinical medicine.I am hardworking,ambitious and down to earth.I am the third born in a family of 9,I have 5 siblings who are still in school.My dad is a peasant farmer and my mother a housewife.We struggle a lot to meet our needs especially school fees for my siblings and my university education.My elder brother cleared college and is yet to secure a source of income.We have often held fundraisers at home so as to raise our money.I have been wishing to get a source of income so that I assist my family.

My Business

I stay at Roysambu along Thika Road.Outside our apartment,I run a grocery shop.I sell fruits and vegetables to the nearby fellow tenants.I have ran this business for the past 3 months.I sell sukuma wiki and cabbage which moves so fast especially lunch time and supper.I also sell few fruits since I dont have enough capital.I use a temporary shelter made of of polythene bags as my shop.The business has been running smoothly despite the challenges I get.I have been able to meet money for my daily use.
I collect my vegetables from Muthurwa market which is 1.2USD transport from my shop.I usually buy vegetables worth KSH 600 or 7USD per day and make around 2USD profit and in a week I make KSH 1000 OR 15USD a week.
I usually hire someone to work for me on a temporary basis when I am in school.I pay her ksh 50 or 0.6 USD a day.I look forward to getting more capital so that I can hire someone permanently.
challenges I get is capital that is inadequate and not having someone to work for me.The shelter I use gives me problems often since it is affected by adverse weather conditions such as heavy rains and scorching sun.
People prefer my vegetables since I get very fresh ones from the market,I am so keen on hygiene and I give them competitive rates to ward off competition
