DETERMINATION IS KEY TO SUCCESS

I am Mary Ayiera of ID number 6615290 and a member of Mama Wajane Self Help Group which is in Kakamega North District. since last year I joined this Self Help Group which tries to build and stabilize the economic status of its members through contributions. The contributions made by older members have accumulated and when a new member joins who is very poor, they give some amount to her and a period over which she can try and do business before refunding. It happened to me in that manner. I had nothing but when I joined, I was given 15,000 shillings to help me stand my ground. I then invested in a small business of buying and selling maize. I made reasonable profits and moved to upgrade myself. I now have also began a clothes business. Soon I will also as intend start a big shop.
