About Me
My name is Jane Nyongesa I am a firstborn in family of six siblings .I live in Kitale town, Trans nzoia county Rift valley region. I come from a poor background being brought up in a polygamous family my father having married two wives and depended on a small portion of land for provision. This forced my mother to start a charcoal selling business to the nearby shopping centre to provide for our school fees since my father could not provide for the two families. My school life was very hard but through small savings, my mother made from her business of selling charcoal and well-wishers I completed primary and later high school.
My parents could not pay for my college since my younger siblings were still in school. I therefore joined my mum in the charcoal selling business and I would deliver the charcoal to client’s houses. By God’s grace I got a government bursary and joined college .In College I studied catering because I loved cooking very much.
When I graduated from college, I decided to start a small cafeteria located at the Kitale town central business district (CBD) The reason I started the business is to earn a living support my mother pay fees for my younger siblings and invest further. I am aiming in opening another restaurant in the town, which will help me double the current inco
During free time i love socializing, swimming,reading, traveling, and volunteering to help the disadvantaged
