About Me

I was born in the eastern province of Kenya in ukambani where is semi desert. Due to its remoteness and in adequate facilities, we had to walk for along distance over 10kilometers away school. since my hoe is from semi arid area my parents could not carry on agriculture yet they had no a good means to earn enough money to take as to school i was to find another means for survival.as believed hardworking pays i had to work hard to achieve my dream and become self employed as i did not manage to continue with my education.i paid for a carpentry course where i learn how to make furniture goods.Nairobi is the best place to live and invest in business due to its high population that has increased the demand of human needs.i would wish my children to become engineer and doctor when they grow up.i like meeting friends to exchange ideas and listening to gospel music.
