I was born in Kenya and after my secondary school in the year 1999 and while I was studying computer as an accountant, my deep desire was tot start a company. This came after I saw many boys and girls were jobless and running into crime. This brought the urge in me to come up with an idea of starting a project though small but it will help out.

In the year 2001, I had the privilege to go to Europe (Italy) and got the opportunity to work as a Colf and while I was working as a Colf, then the idea of creating opportunities pushed me more after seeing how life was in Europe and the one that we had in Kenya made me have a clear idea on what I desired to do for my community. The idea was in me back to 17 years working in Europe and in 2007 the idea came knocking on my door. So in 2017 I bought a land in Paziani, Madungini 20 acres and not knowing that it was a river.

The floods which came in 2018 destroyed all the crops so I had to halt and look for a better place so I rented 60 acres of LangoBaya and did bush cleaning while still in Italy, when I cam back and so the area wasn’t suitable for growing tomatoes. So I shifted tot another area and went to ADC but I didn’t get any land.

So I went to kwale and made in everything into agreement but then the area was flooded again. So I looked for another area again. Through relatives I was led to Marikano (Kakokeni) where I bought 5 acres and rented 20 acres. This where now I started the project in 2022 and grew tomatoes in Marikano on 18 acres and process them in Mijimboni and in 2023 whereby we started the nursery in September and did planting in October. We had a challenge in water but God saw us through and managed to produce tomatoes and process them and got 20 feet container which was 5 pellets and exported to Italy for the first time

So we came to the idea of forming a CBO after seeing the amount of labor and expenses I could not manage to hold it all alone. So I started to share the ideas with other members to form a CBO for changing the community narrative so as to empower the community to create job opportunities especially for widows, orphans, school dropouts especially with children, young boys without future, single mothers and the rejected ones in the society to give hope for their future.
