About Me

I have been raised to with hardships from childhood. My father did not have a formal income during our upbringing. I was born in a family of five, two brothers and two sisters.

My parents used to pay just a fraction of my school fees forcing me to have frequent absenteeism from school. It is only by grace that I managed to complete primary school.

I enrolled in a mission day high school. Even in high school i was absent in most of the times due to lack of school fees. I used my part time to work and raise school fees.

I worked for a chain store after graduating from high school. I worked for three years to raise my university fees which I joined in 2014 to study business and economics online.

After graduating in 2016, I started a cosmetics venture with the savings I had made. My cosmetics business is fairing well. However, I want to expand it to create employment for the needy.

I have chosen cosmetics business because it targets ladies. Also, ladies like beauty products so they can provide a good market for my business.

I have employed a single mother to enable her raise her children from the salary she gets from my business. I want to impact on more needy people like her.

Also, I am supporting an orphan with school fees. I would like to empower youth through creating employment for them.

My Business

I sourced the capital for my current business from my past savings. I deal with beauty products and boutique.

These products are always in demand because ladies provide a great market owing to their behavior of going with current fashion.
