Am a family man blessed with two children, my first born is a girl and she is thirteen years old and she is in class eight.the second is a girl to and she is eight years old and in class two. I live with my family here in a rented house as i have not got the opportunity to have my own. My education background,am a secondary school graduate and am holding a diploma in clinical medicine. I decided to start my own business because with my profession i find the salary rates to be too low according to my family expenditures. so i started a retail shop, along the mtwapa chief's office, and the agricultural road..With my income from the shop i add it to my salary and use for my family needs, pay school fees pay rent and also invest to the business so as to boost the business.
