About Me

There after joined KCA University to peruse certified public accounting course, at my second year in the University my father whom i entrusted to pay my college fee was retrenched from his job. that happened as tel com Kenya which he was working with was privatized. i had no other means of getting my school fee so i applied fot the bursary in order to continue with schooling. i also did online article writing to get life moving as to pay for my hostel rent and other upkeep. Eventually when i graduated from college i secured a job with Kenya commercial bank as a taller, the pay was not much as i wanted to take care of my younger siblings and my expenses too, when the contract with KCB bank came to an end i never renewed as i went back into online freelancing business as my full time business. with the help of zidisha i got a loan and bought a laptop which helped me make my business better, later on bought printer and continued with printing business up to now. my current business can now help me pay for my HELB loan as well bring up my two sons and siblings up in a better way than i was brought by my parens
