About Me

When I was a child, I was very close with my father; he taught me how to do business and I was respecting everybody. After I finished my primary education I joined secondary school, but due to a lack of finances I dropped in form 3 because my father had other kids in school. Then I joined driving school, and I got work and saved some money. I joined a college of tour and travel operation, then I [studied] French language at Alliance Française. After I finished my studies, I got a job and I started to save some money to start a business. I started a business after working for a long time.

The people in our land [do] fishing and cultivation and live in communities. My children, I want them to be doctors or lawyers or what they are interested in. l like football and swimming because I'm near the sea. I have played football since I was young. I also like to watch the news.

My Business

I provide mangrove. I have a small dhow (ship) which is used to load then [transport] the good[s] to the seashore. We remove the outer layer and then it is ready for selling and marketable. After I have done all this, I have to keep them together for easy counting and stamping. The useful [thing] is that I get half profit in what I have spent in buying. The cost depends on how many goods I have bought and how much you pay on revenue. For example, if I have 100 poles, I pay Ksh. 3200 revenue and movement permit Ksh. 1500 and buying is ksh. 4000 and I sell Ksh. 20,000 transport Ksh. 4000 and the loaders. I use my profit for reinvestment and some I save for feature. I like my business and I do respect[ably] because I get food for my children and pay for their education. In business, you have to make a profit, but if you get losses you lose. So I'm very serious in my business and I hope to pay my loan in time so that I get more loans and raise my business. In any business I must be trusted to achieve your goals. Hard work pays and I'm hardworking, and that's why I do my business good and I have cooperation with people I do business with. I do my business in good faith, no cheating or stealing. I like to be straightforward and pay my debt in time.
