About Me
I started my education at Kamuga primary school and then proceeded to Kabete Vet Lab primary school where I did my standard eight there. I joined form one at Aga Khan High school Nairobi in 1991 and cleared forth form in 1994 and later joined Kisumu Polytechnic to study electrical engineering for four years. I later joined University of Nairobi and did Diploma in Public Relations. My latest achievement was studying soccer coaching in Germany and I hold EUFA B licence and now I can coach anywhere in the world because it was an international licence.
Through hard work and my faith in God I have believed in giving back to the community and therefore I have been able to start a Community Based Organization that has been working within Oyugis town and the county for the last 14 years. I have also been able to mentor youths and they are now working with the same community. This is major achievement since they are able to give back to the community.
I started my own business as a way of being able to sustain my family so that with time we can also give much more to the community. I am now offering transport services with a Noah van within my community. community.
The services can be contacted through my mobile number and my base is in Oyugis town at Raila groung or Ragama where I stay. business is opposite the main Banks and close to the main highway so security is good the one working in the nearby bank don’t need transport.
My son who is the first born want to be an engineer and my daughter want to be a doctor when she grows up.
I spend most of my free time watching football, talking to the youth and coaching youths football apart from that I play also music instruments.
My Business
There is always need for transport and that is why I went to this one for Noah, I can always be flexible for taxi and more.
My other part time jobs are in consultancy in coaching and in Life Skills training.
The town is growing with University collages opening up and collages like Medical Training Collage has also been opened up in town so need for accommodation and business has grown. There was also the issue of low costing of the premises that was not equal to the level of demand because of mismanagement.
I went for this business because I needed a car that can be used for business because I don't need to use the car on daily basis. The profit is about 10,000 KESH per week and I get to do also my activities with the car for family.
The profit has been going towards the improvement of the car and servings to buy another newer model.
