About Me

I'm 34 years old. I have 4 kids. I graduated from Maseno University. Professionally I'm a teacher, but I have not been able to get a public school position so I work as a temporal teacher in a local private school.

The meager salary I get has never been enough to meet my family's needs, so I work on a part-time basis in my husband's poultry farm. My husband is a great innovator of clay chicken warmers that use charcoal. He has gained very big popularity and his business is doing well. His clay chicken warmers use local charcoal and I am pushed to look for alternative source of energy to supplement charcoal and save our forests by decreasing deforestation.

My Business

Having successfully started a briquettes project under the support of Zidisha, I kindly request a loan to buy marketing tools. I wish to buy a laptop and USB stick modem to reach my customers anytime they want to connect with me. I will make targeted adverts on the Internet to encourage communities on benefits of smokeless energy (briquettes). I believe it will improve my sales and as well other communities will embrace the idea and implement it. Imagine how the world would be with minimal or no deforestation!!
