About Me

I am a single mother aged 39 years old. I ahve two children who depend on me since they do not have stable jobs. I got my first child at an early age when I was still at primary school. I therefore stayed at home for one and a half years and went back to school thereafter.I continued with my education and managed to join high school. Unfortunately I dropped out of school at form two after an abrupt death of my grand father who was our sole breadwinner. I therefore opted to help my grandmother with home chores as I could not go back to schools as there was no one to pay school fees for me. It reached a point when I could not depend on them any further and I therefore decided to leave the village for greener pastures. I got employed as a house-help for a three(3) years and I managed to save some money and started a green grocer. I was in this business for one year and decided to change to another business. I started a small Beauty shop which am doing upto date. I would like to expland my busines

My monthly expenditure include house rent, transport,school fe
