I was born in a family of 15 siblings and our mother was not able to provide for all of us. We encountered a lot of moments of lack and poverty levels which made us not get enough or as much as we wanted. I struggled through school and managed to get to high school but after high school, I had to look for something to do to earn a living.

I managed to start selling clothes as I educated myself and I have been doing this for a while as I educate my children too. My business is good and the profits are good but I would like to make it better so that I can meet all my needs and that of my family.

Running a second hand clothes shop is what I intended to do and the business gives 20% profit most of the times of the month. I want to expand the business becos I dont have enough space.

With the funds raised, I will be able to buy seedlings for cabbages, sukuma wiki, pumpkin seeds and many other vegetables to assist in the small community group of Samburu women that I have trained on nutrition. This will help them to plant the crops and water them using the nearby dam and river. Once the crops are grown it will enable them to harvest severally to eat the vegetables.
