I started my business by raising capital through selling of one of my cows with Ksh 20,000. The other small shop is food stuff shop that I do sell sugar,wheat flour,maize flour and tea leaves is worthing Ksh 15,000. It is demand is very high only when season picks. The food stuff are very good because they are the only stable food that is accessible in by the community. My business like any other one face high competition. The profit of the business is high especially when the season picks. The only risk that I do face is when the number of tourist visiting Mara lowers.
