Starting a business can be a daunting task, especially when capital is scarce. However, a 26-year-old university student made the bold decision to start a Mtumba business with just Ksh. 600. Despite the odds, she was determined to succeed and her hard work paid off.
The young woman was living in the United States and was burdened with student loans and bills. She decided to think outside the box and find a way to generate income that would ease her financial struggles.
Using her Ksh. 600, she purchased a second-hand T-shirt and sold it for Ksh. 1200. This gave her the inspiration to continue with the business and eventually buy a bale of second-hand clothes. With the profits earned, she was able to pay off her loans and school fees.
As her business grew, she even ventured into exporting bales to other countries, and her wealth began to grow exponentially. She now lives in a luxurious five-bedroom mansion, which she was able to acquire through her Mtumba business. She revealed that her business brings in over Ksh. 600,000 monthly.
In conclusion, with determination and perseverance, starting a business can be a great way to overcome financial difficulties and achieve one’s dreams.
