Businesses in Kenya: Four years ago, James Muchangi was just another casual labourer working at construction sites and tilling farms in Karatina with a Sh. 250 daily pay.
Although he had always wished to become an entrepreneur, James was convinced that it would take him years to save enough money to start a business.
“I could not picture myself as a businessman. I’d failed to secure a place at the university after sitting for my KCSE and consequently, I feared that I would amount to nothing with my casual jobs,” she says.
