About Me
I grew up in western province , the currently called busia county. This is where i grew up annd schooled for both my primary and secondary education. After my studies and id not pass my exams very well so i sought to seek employment in a near by sugar factory where i did manual jobs. i worked here for approximately three years and then i quitted the job and hired a farm where i planted my own sugar cane which i keep selling to mumias sugar factory. the culture of where i live is that we are farmers and we depend on sugar cane and maize cultivation. I have conducted this business over time, and it has helped me save and open other businesses.
