About Me

my name is john ndirangu born in nyeri in the 1978.on my education i am a form 4 leaver but after that i did my tailoring course in the 2005.since my parents were unable to pay all the fee i used to work as a shamba boy and also meet my other needs.i finished my course and luckily i was employed by a tailoring school in the same village to acquire more skills two years down the line i had saved some money which through my sister who kept me in Eldoret i opened my own tailoring shop.I became know to many and most customers were from Nairobi.so i left my sister to continue and shifted to Nairobi where i currently work and i got married now with two children and am able to meet their needs.upon their characters one would a doctor and the other a teacher.i create my time with my family mostly on weekend where i take them for short tours and teach them about God.

My Business

As a tailor and a designer i make clothes by buying rolls of clothes and sell.i also receive orders from available private companies in uhuru market and Estleigh.this goods have to be used in day today life and therefore they would never loose value in addition in this error of new generation we have to produce new fashion as they come out .i loved it when i was young and also saw it is more profitable as people need to be officially dressed in their offices and i provide fare prices than compared to ready market clothes . in a day i make a minimum of ksh.1800.from this i manage it for our upkeep and rents ,my children education, generous giving to my sisters children home who supports orphans, support to our dear parents and also invest back to my business.i also support my dear wife in her salon work.she has been able to have her machines.i also save to achieve my vision of having my own apartment and my big cloth warehouse.
