About Me

I was born and raised in Nairobi at the River road area. I was born in a humble family of two. I lost my father at a very tender age and i was left by my mother who took care of us despite her little earning from her grocery business.
i schooled at Umoja Primary school in Nairobi, joined Jamuhuri high school in Nairobi but my education can manned with a lot of challenges, i used to be sent home for school fees so frequently. My mother struggled to educate usup to form form level. It was so hard for me to concentrate in class because of being on and off from school each term. This resulted to my poor performance in the final examination.
I started my business from the savings that i had made back in school. The little cash that i had was enough to help me start the business because the capital required was not so much, i started hawking business in town where i sale polythene bags and travelling bags to the many people who flock at the market places to buy items.
What i find unique with Nairobi, personally is the spirit that everyone has. Day in day out people are toilling to get money. I love the spirit of the people in this area and this is what i personality find unique.
I currently don't have any kid but my wife is expectant and i believe in the next two months i will be a father to a bouncing baby boy.

My Business

i do hawking in Nairobi town where i sale polythene bags for carrying goods and also travelling bags. This service are useful because they help people transport there commodities well from one place to the other. It is also on demand because i sale them at the market places where many people flock day in day out to do shopping for there houses.
i chose to do this business because then little capital that i had saved could support me to start up this business. On the other hand, i had seen many people struggling to go to the shops to buy this commodities and i thought to bring the services close to them by moving from one place to the other selling to themas they carry out their shopping. I havw been using the profits that i made from my business to grow other business, for example i helped my wife open up a grocery, i bought a bicycle that is used for transporting people in town. My wife is now expecting a baby and this time round my profits goes to saving as we prepare to welcome our new born. I also wish to advance some loan in preparation for the same
