About Me

I Benard Otieno was born in 1977 in kisumu county,i completed my primary education at ranjira primary in 1992 then joined otieno oyoo high school u ntil 1996.I then joined bahari beach hotel as a security guard in mombasa,i lost my job and decided to start my business of vegetable vending until now.I stock tomatoes,onions,bananas,mangoes and others,i have gone through a lot of challenges running from raising capital,drought sometimes push inflation high thus prices as commodities get scarce.Often i have to look for odd jobs at such times to raise working capital to stay afloat on business which wont be as the case after joining zidisha.

My Business

I started this business of vegetable vending after getting frustrasted with formal jobs.I started with a capital of shs2000 only but since these goods are in demand daily i have managed to stay afloat all these years.I have managed to take my children to school with the proceeds from there.I make a profit of between shs600 to shs 800 everyday which helps me run my family plough some back in the business.With zidisha i hope lenders will help raise the much needed working capital for expansion of the business to greater heights,i look forward to warm working relationship with all my lenders.
