About Me

My story in childhood is that i was able to join kim's kindergarten which was just opposite our home later i joined mirangine primary school. after that i joined mikeu secondary school and the grade that i got could not help me to join university. i started hustling up and down looking for better life.through all this process i meet many difficulties that i almost loosed hope and i had to go back home and started small scale farming and little by little i found that i could make it. that season i had planted maize and it did well that i was able to get 309$ which i moved with them to start a shop in nakuru-langa langa.
