I was born in Shivakala village in 1991 as a forth born child in a family of seven, four boys and three girls of whom the third born girl passed on when she was still an infant. I started by education in Shivakala primary school in 1997 and did my Kenya certificate of primary education in 2008. After my primary education i trained as a mason and latter as a driver. I was employed by as a motor cycle operator in 2011 and after in 2013 after managing to save some money i bought my own motor bike that i am currently using for my daily business. Kakamega town is a growing town and most of its feeder roads are not tarmac so making public transport a challenge and their is where i come in handy i am married and look forward to having kids, i love traveling.
After training as a driver i was employed as a motor bike operator for three years, during that time i was able to save money and in 2013 i got my own motor bike and that's where i make my income. i make an average of Ksh. 600 ($6) per day and spend an average of Ksh.200 ($2) on petrol when i am within town. i choose this kind of business because of the increasing demand for fast and reliable transport to the feeder roads. The proceeds from my business have helped me build my own house pay for merry go round weekly, pay for liabilities.
i would like to purchase a refrigerator at a cost of Ksh.30000 ($300) this will help me in food storage in the house and also boost my milk business. I have a freshian heifer that is in-calf due for September and i am expecting alot of milk so the refrigerator will help me with milk storage.
