My name is Laban Okoth, born and raised in Migori, Kenya. I'm the fourth born child in a family of five children. I joined Kanga Primary School in the year 2010 for my basic education, where I graduated in 2018 before joining Kokuro Boys High School in 2019. I graduated from high school in 2023, but was unlucky to join tertiary institution because of financial constraints. I therefore ventured into vegetables farming for commercial distribution. In mid 2025, I was able to purchase a motorbike, which I use for transporting people and goods; hence I'm a commercial motorbike rider at times when I'm not dealing with farming activities. I have employed a friend with whom we graduated from the same school, as my rider who handles the motorbike whenever I'm busy with other activities.
I love football as a hobby.
I have a multiple sources of income, where I do vegetables farming, which is the main business. I also have a motorbike that is used for commercial transportation services within Rongo town and beyond. I started this business in mid 2025, from my vegetables sales savings; a venture I started immediately after graduating from high school. I chose this business because of its nature of quick income generation.
Currently, I'm working on ways of generating more income with a dream of joining a college and learn a skill as a professional path as I continue my businesses, employing people to manage when I'm away.
My business requires a constant routine maintenance of the transport vessel I use on my day to day basis, which is nothing less than a motorbike. This will increase my efficiency and generate more income, a boost for me and my family as the community enjoys reliable transportation services; while the friends I've employed get something on their table on a daily basis.
