About Me

I'm kenyan by birth from kisii county born in a family of 8 members. Went to primary school Kebirigo and joined secondary at Nyachwa adventist secondary school due to lack of school fees i could not go further because my mother used to be sick throughout until villagers could come to our help. Laiter i got another pastor who offered to take me to polytechnic where l trained as a dress maker and a bit of typing. After that i went back home stayed bit and later came to Nairobi worked as a house help that is where i got some money started a small business but with difficulties . I straggle with my business but i'm able to raise money for rent house and school fees for my children. In the course of straggling i met with a friend who advised me to join Zidisha . She further informed me that i could borrow extra money and stock my business.
