I am the first born in a family of 5(2boys and 3girls). I grew up in Nairobi county where I attended my primary-Cannon Appollo and secondary school education- Ofafa Jericho High School. My childhood and education life was very tough and full of challenges.
The issue of school fess almost crippled my dreams of continuing with my education since we depended on our mother who work hard to see us through to school .She had to run small business which entailed selling mandazi and tea at her work place. The little money she got would be used in pay for my fees. During school holidays I would chip in and assist her running the business while she went to work. It is at this point where I developed a keen interest in starting my own business,in which I would make money to to buy stationary.
After finishing school, I started selling second hand shoes for1 year in order to save up for my college fees.
What's unique about my city {Nairobi} is that, it is home to the best parks in the world such as Nairobi national park.
I would love my children to practice agribusiness besides their dream jobs.
During my free time i love swimming, reading, photography, making friends, and volunteering in children's home.
Am currently planning to venture in freelance writing which involves article writing. It's one area that gives me the opportunity to work at home with minimum supervision and the ability to earn some extra cash.Since i love writing and reading, i think i will be able to create more opportunities for my future income. i will use part of my earning to support the less fortunate in the society.
After harvesting of maize, am planning to plant and beans in my 1 hectare . This will be done during the month of October and it will take 3 months. For my first loan, I will use 2$ for land preparation then another 2$ will be used for purchasing a spraying machine , this will be used for spraying purposes during planting season.Am looking forward to create employment through my farming project since I will require 2 people to assist me with activities such as weeding, spraying, and harvesting.
