i was born and brought up in nandi county, schooled in nandi and part of western region of kenya. i had to go to school with difficulty of fees as parents had no stable jobs but all in all i tried my best to study. after studies as there are no jobs, i borrowed some money from a friend to start up my business then repay it back, i started it with $30 but now it has grow to a worth of almost $ 800. i want to see a success in my business from sale of women hand bags to a boutique.
i come from a land rich in milk and the weather there is good. we are blessed with rains all the time. My son wants to be a doctor when he grows up and its my greatest happiness to see him pursue his studies to the higher level. i like singing and guiding and counselling people. I also do capacity building on women in the villages and through this many have been able to save money and start small businesses supporting their families.
i buy and sell ladies hand bags, i got to the market and discovered that most women need these handbags as they run many errands here and there thus if they have these bags they put in all their stuffs and move easily from one place to another without worries, i chose this business to be able to meet these women's needs thus reduce their worries.
my business being young, my revenues are $20 per week.
i use my profits on savings for my children, school fees, reinvestment in my business, diversifying the business to other viable opportunities, home improvements.
i have expanded my business and major mostly on cyber business as it has led to me getting more income.
i will buy printer worth $180 and the balance of $40 will be for stationeries.
Having this printer will reduce conjestion of work on the printers i have thus making it easier to meet customers needs on time.
i expect my profits to increase from $25 to $30.
this growth will be great in my business thus reinvesting more.
