My name is Michael Mbega. I went through primary school at Mtwapa Primary and later joined Msumarini secondary school where i completed my form four education.
I could not proceed further in education due to financial challenges at home. I got employed at a whole sell shop in Mtwapa. from that job i gained experience in doing business.
I started a small shop.with various commodities in my neighborhood. I sell Soft drinks, Candy, Biscuits and i also sell beef meat.
Its very hot in Africa most of the town and especially here at the coast of Kenya. so people use soft drinks often to some how cool the temperature and i found out that in my neighborhood there were few shops for such drinks.
The children at my village dont have access to big candy shops in town so i decided to bring such things closer to the so that they can enjoy as well.
I sell beef meet as source of food in our homes.
If i get the loan amount i will use the money to add maize flour at my shop as right now the normal packed flour from the bigger mill companies has increased so much and even it tends to disappear from the supermarkets and bigger shops.
i believe this will increase my earnings like by 20% as i will get more customers.
