Am a resident of Kitale in transnzoia Kenya.I have diploma in sales and marketing plus several certificates on entrepreneurship short term courses i have dealt with cosmetics & beauty.but 5 years ago i had a fatal road accident, i fractured my leg &pelvic on the right side, it was plated but it was plated but am still unstable to date. After alot of soul searching and determination i have embraced motorbike (Boda boda )transport business by leasing a motorbike from a friend who changed from transport to farming.Despite my condition am handworking and determined to steer myself and my family for better. I was invited to Zidisha by a friend Zippy Nangila, who is a road accident victim like me, our Sons shares the same name and birthdays,fate brought us together to share, console and move forward with funding from Zidisha

My Business

I need funding from Zidisha to enable me to buy new tyres and tube ,to service it to perfection for me to the get a good profit with a guarantee to save some money to buy my own motorcycle for transport someday. kitale is a growing town, it surrounded by farms and upcoming Housing Estates, therefore motorcyle transport in my good and in demand, it pays well cause it is speedy a destination and can access all interior areas.
