About Me

My name is Winnie a mother of two a boy and a girl. I was born in a small town called Kericho where I started my early education at a nearby public primary school. I also attended a public secondary school within my locality.
When I cleared my form four I joined a tertiary institute where I pursued a course. My main challenge while in college was pocket money and school fee.
I started my own business with some savings I had saved and a small loan from a family member.
Kericho is a fertile and productive land which has good and favorable climate. We mainly grow tea and other cash crops either small scale or large scale.
My first born son has a liking for cars and he would like to be an automotive engineer when he grows up,my beautiful last born girl would like to be a lawyer,she like fighting for people rights even at home. equality is her thing.
My hobbies are reading novels,listening to music ,traveling and making new friends. I am an indoor person so I like indoor activities,this are the things I do when am not spending time with my happy family.

My Business

I have a mini boutique which also serves as a beauty shop. Beauty is a thing most women spend a lot of cash and resources in. The demand for this services is always on the high because people always want to look good all the time.
I chose this kind of business because the returns is good and the services are always on demand.
On a good month I make a profit of 100-120$ after all the costs incurred have been met.
I use the profits to add stock to my boutique,pay for my children's fees and upkeep,save an amount to the bank and meet my personal needs.
