About Me

I was born in Western Province in Vihiga County. I am the last born in a family of three doing and working for gain at Luanda Town. I run my shop and manage by myself.

I like reading and playing football during my free times and making new friends.

In our area here in Luanda most people are peasant farmers who work hard in everything they do which eventually gives them something at the end but it is too little due to lack of finances to boost their businesses.

My Business

I have a retail shop which i manage and my wife sometimes does he job when i have gone to take photographs in weddings and funerals.



My main source of capital comes from the Retail shop sales and from photographs which i take and sale to my customers.


After high school i ventured in photographing services where i take passports from students in various schools in Luanda town and its neighbors which really supports me and my family.

Since high school i have been able to save little monies which enabled me to open a retail shop which assists me in adding in more income.



I am married and my wife helps me o run the retail shop as i go out to he field to take photographs for my customers.



The two business both brings in income at the end which makes me o be able to pay for the loan which i take from Zidisha lenders.
