I therefore started offering manual labour on peoples farm and get pay at the end of the day. I did this for almost four years, got money, made saving with an attempts of starting my own business in future After making enough money, i started my own business of painting. I opened a shop in town where i do painting. I paint peoples shops, houses and buildings.

The most unique thing about our land is the fact that it produces many athletes in the entire country.

My Business

I offer painting services. I paint houses, shops, new constructed buildings, schools, offices. I engage in all kind of painting business.
These services are useful because they make peoples house look neat and attractive. On the other hand it is on demand because the number of people engaging in this kind of business in Eldoret are not so many. On the other hand, i am a professional painter having been trained by a professional and also getting certification in the same.
I chose this business because of my love for arts. I loved making things ways back when i was in high school and on the other hand i was mentored by a very close friend who encouraged me to venture into the same business.
I incur the following costs on monthly basis, paying my shops rent 30 Us dollars, buying paints for customers at 200 Us dollars and paying somebody assisting me to look after the shop when i am away 40 Us dollars.
I have used the profits that i have made to pay school fee for my siblings, helped my mother start a grocery business in town where she sells fruits and all types of grocer. I have also managed to grow my business and maintain the stock inside.
