I am a 46 year old mother of one kid who is at school. I live and do business in Ongata Rongai. I went to school up-to form 2 when I dropped out I started my business after facing a lot of challenges doing jobs in the informal sector.

With the earnings from my small business I am able to educate and feed my child and I can now afford a decent living unlike in the past. I now feel much more ready to seriously do this business with all my energy to overcome poverty and a low lifestyle. I am ready to concur the world.

My Business
