About Me

My name is Linus kiplagat from Eldoret Kenya. I was born in a village known as Tuiyobei . I like this village very much because of it's culture.The way people behave has motivated me to be more innovative, hardworking and opportunistic. I started my studies early nineties at Tendwo osorongai primary school, proceeded to Marigat high school in Baringo County and currently struggling to complete my degree at New Charter University (USA) through online program. It has not been an easy way to gather enough funds for schooling but through experience from my neighborhood I had to work extra hard by planting horticultural crops ensure I rely on my own sweat and achieve my dream. I have great hope that my school will enable me get a job or have knowledge and skills to invest on entrepreneurship. This will increase my income that I will use to educate my children

My Business

Currently am working One Acre Fund as field officer earning a monthly salary of $150 I also operate on horticultural farming planting passion fruit, cupsicum and vegetables like tomatoes and sukuma which earns an average income of $1000 annually
