My name is Felix makokha eloba, I am the first born in family of three siblings. Since I was born, I was lived to know my mum Sarah nangekhe makokha as my only parent with no information about my biological father as no one was willing to share the information not even my mum.
My mum left me when I was 6months old in my grandmother's place and went out to search for employment to be able to care for me but again came back to my grandmothers place empty handed when I was at the age of ten sighting how life has been challenging out there.
So my education background it was not good, even to raise school fees it was a problem because my mum with my grandmother they could not afford. Everytime the principal could send me back home for school fees. But I thank God because I finished form four( secondary school) .
Life was quite fair until my mum fall Ill at a very critical point in my school life as I was in form four,a time where I needed maximum concentration to make it in final year.my mum started develop what I could term as mental instability,she rushed to the hospital, diagnosed but to everyone astonishment,she tested negative for all possible illness that could have let the condition.The doctors did their best but nothing they did yielded positive results as up to date my mum is still mentally disabled.
After my secondary school education I could not able to proceed to tertiary learning but have remained to optimistic about life knowing that God will someday open success doors for me.I have been doing small jobs here and there to able to support my other siblings,my ailing mum and am able to save some money in order to start my own investment and grow financially.
The time I was working small jobs like making bricks, cutting sugarcane, so that I can get money to start my business,I was very interested to start my textile but I was not know how to make clothes. It forced me to learn so that I can have my own textile. After learning, I got mount to get secondhand Machine, that is amanual machine to start my textile. So I started the first one but I face a lot of challenges which led to close my shop. I thank God now I have my business and am expecting in 5 years to come I will be having my own textile company in which it will be helping to pay the school fees to the orphans that I have them in ministry
The last project was successful and I thank zidisha for funding my project, I need also expand my business of tailoring . I need to buy iron machine, in which I will be using to iron the clothes my customers in my business and the remaining I will use to buy fabrics to made more clothes,.
