About Me
MY FAMILY IS COMPRISED OF MY MOTHER ELENAH YEGO, FATHER CHRIS YEGO WITH MY FIVE OTHER YOUNGER SIBLINGS. MY PARENTS ARE PEASANT FARMERS, THEY USUALLY GROW FEW CROPS ON OUR QUARTER ACRE GARDEN, MY MOTHER SELLS VEGETABLES ON HER SMALL KIOSK AT KASARANI, MAKITI MARKET. I AM THE FIRST BORN AND AFTER COMPLETING HIGH SCHOOL; ST. JOSEPHS GIRLS SCHOOL AT THE YEAR OF 2010. MY PARENTS COULD NOT SUPPORT MY UNIVERSITY EDUCATION, SO I JOINED A CHEAPER MIDDLE COLLEGE: KENYA MEDICAL TRAINING COLLEGE-KABARNET, I STUDIED NURSING CERTIFICATE COURSE. LATER ATTENDED MIDWIFE COURSE IN NAIROBI.
AFTER COMPLETING THESE COURSES I WAS GOOD TO GO AND MY LOVE AND PASSION FOR TREATING AND HELPING MY COMMUNITY WALK AWAY FROM POOR HEALTH AND YOUNG CHILDREN DYING FROM COMMON DISEASES LIKE MALARIA STARTED. AFTER CONDUCTING AN "HARAMBEE" FUNDRAISING FROM RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IN THE YEAR 2013, I STARTED A CHEMIST.WHICH AFTER SIX MONTHS OF SUCCESS I IMPROVED IT TO BE A DISPENSING CHEMIST.
My Business
THE SUCCESSFUL DISPENSING-CHEMIST THAT I RUN IS LOCATED AT KASARANI SHOPPING CENTER IT IS CALLED ALLEYCHEM DISPENSING CHEMIST. IN THE CHEMIST I OFFER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DISEASES, PREVENTION SERVICES, GENERAL COUNSELLING AND TESTING FOR CHILDREN.
THE TYPES OF DISEASES THAT I REGULARLY DIAGNOSE INCLUDE, MALARIA, TUBERCULOSIS AND OTHER CHEST PROBLEMS , HIV AND OTHER SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES.
MOST OF MY CLIENTS ARE CHILDREN 60%, WOMEN 30% AND MEN 10%.
THE ONLY CHALLENGE I FACE ARE PATIENTS WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO PAY FULLY FOR THE SERVICES OFFERED. I HAVE TRIED AND CONTINUE TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITYON SERVICES I OFFER.
MY DREAM IS TO GROW THE CLINIC INTO MATERNITY AND NURSING HOME.
Loan Proposal
