“I started a small workshop after acquiring carpentry skills at a friend’s workshop. However, due to inadequate business management skills, my business was performing poorly for some months. Luckly, through KYEOP project, I got a chance to participate in entrepreneurship training organized by Aayden Consulting limited in 2020. My business skills were sharpened and I got an opportunity to reflect on enhancing my business idea, coming up with better marketing strategy, costing and pricing my products, keeping business records as well as managing business and personal finances. After the training, I was assigned a business coach who visited my business for seven times and guided me on areas to work on to enhance my business performance. My business started growing gradually and by the end of 2020, I was able engage one youth on apprenticeship. Out of the income from the business, am able to cater for the basic needs of the family, pay the trainee a stipend of at least Ksh.6,000 per month and save at least Ksh.3,000 on a bad month. I sincerely want to thank Aayden Consulting Ltd for empowering me with necessary business skills.”
