I am Sammy Kanja Nganga, born in 1976, in Kandutura Village, Rongai Division, Rongai District of Nakuru County, and grew up in a manner similar to other children in Africa. I have ten siblings. I am married, with one legal wife, according to the traditional Agikuyu customs. We are blessed with four kids, 3 boys and a girl.The girl is the apple of my eye and of my heart. I started schooling in 1982, in a remote primary school called Kandutura Primary School. Later, I went to Nakuru High, where I successfully completed my secondary education. Then, I started a business to earn a living and support my family.

I provide some services using a donkey pulling cart, my cart is pulled by three donkeys . I offer transportation to people and goods from the farm to the market and from the market to the farms. Most people prefer the services I provide, as a pulling cart can be used in different conditions of roads where vehicles cannot pass.The business is profitable as it only requires one to feed the animal well most oftenly. Risks include tire punchers, and death of donkeys due to pest and diseases attacks and changes in weather. In a month I usually use approximately of four thousand Kenya shilling to maintain a pooling cart and the donkey. I normally deworm the donkeys regularly and to buy some feeds additives to supplement their daily feeds. After providing the services and maintaining the pooling cart I normally get a profit of sh.10,000 that is the total earning 14,000 sh (minus4,000 expenses) in order to get the above profit.

I’m normally situated in a place called Waka centre where most farmers and business men and women who come for the service .On average I charge about kenya shillings 500 on any customer who hire my cart to transport his goods to his place of destination .At times I charge about 1000 shillings if the goods have to be taken for a distance that is greater than 8 kilometres .If given a loan, I can buy new tubes and tyres for the wheels and buy much more feeds to keep my animals strong and healthy.

I do transport business using donkey carts. i wish to increase the number of donkeys and carts so that i can be able to ferry more laggages and get more profit. the market is available as many people do not consider it important to have personal donkeeys yet when it rains the roads are impassible by cars and the donkey transport become necessary. i also have an old junk automobile which if taken to a garage can become operational and can be used to ferry laggages and people during the dry season.
