My name is Veronicah Muthoni Kamanja.

Aged 38 years and have been married with four kids, living together.

The children attend a day primary school allocated in our home area.

We live in Naivasha district, Gilgil division Kiambogo location, Njeru village.

I did my KCSE exam in 1991 ie four course later joined a college of accounting.

Currently lam working at Mugaa secondary school as a accounts clerk.

I started a business of hair dressing which was at home,because l needed more money to cater and educate my children

I started a business of hair dressing which was at home,because l needed more money to cater and educate my children As time went l started attending more customers where l end up shifting from home hair dressing and hired a bigger room in a near by shopping center called Kiptangwanyi where electricity was available and means of communication and transport were good as compared to our home area.

Fromthe businessearning l was able to expand the work by buying more working tools and employed one saloon.

However the kind of goods that l sell are for the ladies eg ornaments, handbags, cosmetics and so on.Services are plainting of hair and nail painting.Most ladies working in different areas eg in businessis or in offices like to look beatiful, therefore their is need to apply cosmetics.My customers prefer my business because l charge fairly and the busines is always open.

Due to area allocation of business we make more profit only when the farming (harvest is good) because most people relie on farming even though they are employed.The risk the business faces is when their is no harvest.

my intention is to raise enough money to b able to by a piece of land. Currently one acre of land around Njeru area is going for between ksh 100 000 and ksh 150 000. My husband and I feels that we can use this land for planting forders for the animals.
