I happened to come from a polygamous family whereby my father has three wives and am the daughter of first wife.
My mother brought me up well but my father has always had a busy schedule throughout.
I really spent quality time with my father because he is always away though he provided for us the basic needs.
My mother made sure I went to school and completed education.
She paid school fees and always made followup as regards to my education progress.
I finished O-level and A-level education and ventured into serious business
My father could not pay school fees fully for all of us.
I used to buy second-hand outfits and then sell it at a profit.
when I got married, I continued with this business in a move to supplement my husband's income
I love singing music
I do clothing business whereby I buy cheaply and resell at a profit.
I buy clothes from a place called River-road in Nairobi, transport it and sell it at home market.
I love this business because getting first stock is easier.
The stock is also cheap hence affordable.
I use profit to restock my business, pay business rent, school fees etc
I usually put transportation cost in mind because it is a compulsory requirement.
I would like to use the money as explained below
:-
1. To buy extra stock in market calls for more money so I request for 4 dollars for this purpose
2. I also need 1 dollar to add to my transportation cost so that I don't run into losses as a result of too much spending on transport.
