I am Naomi Wangui Kabinge.I live in Uguja village in Homabay county.I am a wife to Mr.Peter Waithera.I am blessed with two childrens,a boy and a girl.Also i live with my late sisters childrens.She left me two sons after she died of AIDs ten years ago.
I am a p1 teacher but a long wait i have not been able to secure teaching job with the Government eight years since i graduated.After teaching in private school for a while i managed to save some little amount of capital and started a grocery.The businesa i now do with passion to date.
During my old days i did volunteer with st.john ambulence while in high school.Some years back i volunterily worked with jijue voluntery and counceling where we walked in several high schools teaching student awareness of AIDs.
I call myself an ambitious small business woman.I run a grocery in a "kibanda" shop.I sell kale(skuma wiki).The word 'skuma wiki' comes from swahili word mearning keep the week going.This names was given to kale because poor people would only afford kale throughout the week.I also sell tomatoes,onions,oranges,bananas,dania,garlic,irice potatoes and chacoal.
I sell this products to the local around here.My business always begun at 5 am where i rush to the main market to bring the fresh products to be sold during the day.At 11 am i begun sales to people going to prepare lunch till 9pm when i close my business.
