my name is Catherine Kemunto Nyakundi. I am 26 years old from Kenya. i am the 5th born in a family of 9 children. i finished my secondary school education in the year 2007 and scored a C+. I started doing business in 2008 where i sold clothes at Gikomba market. in December 2009, i enrolled in school based program at the University of Nairobi where i studied BED(Arts). I finished my course in 2013 though I could not graduate due to school fees arrears. I embarked on my business in the same years where am working towards clearing the fees an graduating this year 2015.
My greatest dream is to became a renown business woman. I discovered this after i tried teaching in several secondary schools and realized that i could business better. i enjoyed doing business more than my career choice because i realized there was more to business than in a class. that is not to say that teaching is bad.
I am now planning to stick on business and enroll in a business course next year so that i can add more knowledge in the field .
My main source of income now is my skill in beauty which i do in my home.
my services include; plaiting, weaving,manicure and pedicure. i do this on my customers who know me and have been working with me for some time. I make around 2000 or less per week from this venture.
Apart from this, i also sell second hand clothes at my small shop. i sometimes deliver them to my customers any time and any place. from this business, i make 4000 or more during a good sales day.
Did i tell you that am also a farmer, well i guess i didn't. This month has been been a busy one since i have been working on my four acre farm in Narok. I dont own the land i leased it on a one year contract. its planting time, after long wait for the rains.
since i have saved some money, i will add the loan to increase my stock which i extend to sell in Mombasa where i realized business is favorable. . i plan to buy more clothes which together with my business associate Sammy who resides in Mombasa will sell.
My other business partner Alex, has also come up with a plan to start a salon. so some of the money will go to the salon project.
