my name is abdallah kipapi asumo, i come from western part of Kenya. vihiga county, vihiga district , lugaga location . I am the second last born in a family of seven. my late father and mother brought us up in a christian way of life but unluckily we encountered hardship when mum passed away later on dad too passed on so it forced me to stop my education at high school level and seek on the way to bring a brighter future to my siblings and my future life. i started my shoe business which up to now has made me cater for my daily expenses a swell as pay for my two kids school fees .
i do sell shoes in dandora .Dandora is one of the estates in nairobi city. i did start this business as an hawker but through my hard work i managed to get a stall which i pay its rent monthly , right now i do my business in a central location which my customers do get me at any time of their choice. through zidisha i have expanded my stall and now i can accommodate a larger number of stock of different variety.my business has continousely given me good income which i pay my expenses and take to the bank some money as savings for the future of my kids.
since i have been trading on adult shoes only, i have found it better to introduce children shoes too in my business as now i have ample space to accommodate that stock. most of my customers are parents and always ask for children shoes which i do promise them that i will soon. so i feel it is the right time to accomplish their want. by introducing the new variety of stock will make me earn more income by over 30%.
