About Me
I am 41 years old, married with seven children who are all schooling. two are in high school while the remaining five are in primary school. I live in kiptangwanyi which is about 41 km from Nakuru town. I live in my plot which is plot number 14 in the kiptangwanyi shopping center. I am not formally employed and have been meeting my family needs through various manual work that i have been doing here and there. This prompted me to start the business of a hotel that i have been operating since 2006.
My Business
My business entails operating a hotel in kiptangwanyi shopping center. I sell fast foods and drinks in my hotel. I started this business after I realized the potential of this business in this area. My target was high school and primary school children who were and still are very good customers of my business. customers prefer buying from my business as I provide quality and clean food. I also ensure that my food is always fresh and this promotes my business so much. the risks that my business face are shortage of supplies and drought which affects our sources of the foodstuffs that i make.Currently I am using my earnings to expand my business to other neighbouring kiptangwanyi shopping centre.
