About Me
Am Robert Wanjala from Nairobi zima man,am 34 years old,i never went to school because i had no parents.
I was dumped by parents because i was lame both legs and my parents ware ashamed of giving birth to a child who could not walk so they decided to abandon me while i was young
i grew up in the hands of a poor old lady who could not pay my school fees.
Like any anther disabled and non educated person in my country,the only work i could do was to learn how to mend people's shoes to earn a living
From there i have learn to mend shoes and to produce shoes localy with my one sowing machine.
I go to church during free time
i also do counsel the disabled people who think they have no future again
My Business
I do mend shoes,all types of shoes both open and close,I also saw shoes with my sawing machine both closed and open mainly school children shoes.
