About Me

MY CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATION
I was born in bomet county of the great riftvalley province in Kenya. my village is kapchumbe which borders Bomet and transmara. i started going to school at the age of five. i attended chesambai primary school and there after joined Gorgor secondary school where i did my final exams in the year 2011 and later joined portreitz medical training collage in mombasa.
HOW I OVERCAME HARDSHIPS
while growing up in our village, most of my friends who are girls never attended school due to home chores and duties that bind and subjected us to harsh treatment and harassment from our male counterparts. some of us found themselves dropping out of school to undergo female genital mutilation or get married. some even had to drop due to early pregnancies which was deemed common and never to go back to school. i was lucky to have grown up in a christian family that demanded discipline and always advised us to choose the right friends.
HOW I STARTED MY OWN BUSINESS
As a student in portreitz MTC i was always yearning to own my own business. i have been having a passion to start a part time business by venturing into hair and salon business. it was a challenge at first due to lack of capital and the fact that i never had time to do it as i was always in class for my studies. i used my little savings and i started doing hair for my peers in the hostels. soon i had enough money that allowed me to move out and rented a small room next to our college.
