About Me

I Was born in 1978 in Kiambu county in Kenya.In 1984 we relocated to Maai Mahiu town in Nakuru county. The same year I joined nursery school. In 1985 I joined primary school in Maai Mahiu primary school. I completed primary school in 1992 and joined secondary school in 1993.I completed secondary school in 1996.When I completed secondary school my mom got sick and succumbed to cancer illness in 1997.My Dad had retired from the teaching profession in 1995.There was no money for me to further my education. I started walking around looking for odd jobs like feeding and milking cows, digging, weeding and construction. In 1999 I started teaching a Sunday school class in my local church. After teaching Sunday school children for three years I realised that I was talented in teaching. In 2003 I asked for a chance to teach in a formal primary school which I succeeded. I devoted myself fully to the duty and after only one year of teaching, I was promoted to head the school though I was untrained. I was able to train as teacher at this time. I got married to Janet in 2005 Currently we are blessed with three children.Peter-9years old. Rahab -5years and Victor 1year old.Our first born would like to be alectuter, second born would like to be adoctor.I like seeing pupils in class learning.

My Business

Today I offer education services both in ECDE and primary education. Maai Mahiu town is a densely populated area with only one public primary school which has a population of more than 2000pupils .There are more than 6000school going children hence the need for education services. After heading several schools around Maai Mahiu town,I thought I had enough experience to learn my own school.. Ispend much of my income in paying my staff. I have205 children who pay an average of 20 dollars per term. I spend three quarters of my income in paying my staff. I use an eighth to cater for the premises and basic needs like chalks,pens etc.The small profit that I make I use it in expanding

Project Proposal

Following the introduction of a new curriculum in our country, it has become necessary to have extra classrooms for the Junior secondary school.
The school is not supposed to be hosted in the same primary school.
We are therefore in dire need of a classroom to start with.After reaching grade six, it will be the last grade for primary level.In grade Seven, it will be the beginning of the junior secondary schools which will run upto grade nine and then the children will now join senior secondary schools.We need support in construction a classroom and hence we have come to zidisha to get the needed assistance.Zidisha has helped us many other times and we hope that even at this time we will be supported.Thanks
