I am Esther wacera waweru, a Christian(Catholic) Kenyan lady and mother of 3 school going children. I work with an NGO as a field staff (community coordinator).

I am a professional information scientist after successfully completing my undergraduate studies in Moi University.

When my children joined school, I needed a side source of income to cater for the school fees and that's when the idea of starting an Mpesa shop was born.

In my business, I offer Mpesa services. Mpesa services have become important in today life as we are embracing cashless economy. Currently, capital for the business is 100,000 Kenyan shillings. I use the profits in paying school fees for my 3 children.

These funds will be a boost to my business. Since I offer Mpesa services, I will be able to serve more customers.

The funds will be beneficial to me since I will be satisfied, having served more people.

To my family, these funds means more profits and therefore easy payment of school fees

To my community, who are also my customers, will be satisfied that I served them.
