My Business

my business is located at uvete shopping center which is 16 kilometers from kilome market in makueni county.I started this business 7 years ago when my husband died leaving me with the responsibility of taking care of our 3 children. I started small from hawking ladies ware from door to door and later started my own stall.it is through this business that my children have remained in school and we also depend on it for our day to day survival.In a day i make at least Kshs 300 profit which is the reason why my business has grown.most customer buy from my shop because my prices are reasonable compared to the rest and i also give credit services.am looking forward to being funded by zidisha.
