my business entail in maize milling , i have a posho mill which i use to do the flour of all kind of cereal milling.i started this business in 2005 after my husband and i agree that i have to look for what i can do to support our family, and he bought this diesel machine.i started this job and became very social with people around here.and because of good relationship with people around i was able to join some group in the area,so there were no difficulty when my husband pass away because from then i was able to get electricity and buy a motor to make my work easier .the business is profitable as in where i am located ,there is no other posho mill , so i take that advantage. the main challenge is high cost of electricity, poor road in this area like now it is very dusty,sometime breakdown of my machine and also high cost of spare part.
