Mrs Rose Kones with a client, Mr Paul Kirui, in Bomet town. Ms Kones, a former alcoholic, turned her life around by starting a goat meat selling business with Sh2,800 three years ago.
Three years ago, Rose, a mother of three, was an alcoholic and could barely take care of her children.
One day it hit her that if she did not kick her habit, her daughter, then in Class Eight, would not go to high school.
This week I came across a story that inspired me, that of Rose Kones, a businesswoman who comes from Bomet. Three years ago, Rose, a mother of three, was an alcoholic. She could barely take care of her children, in fact, two did not live with her.
The little she made, Sh200 cleaning a lodging and helping out in the kitchen, went towards supporting her habit. And then one day, in a moment of soberness, it hit her that if she did not kick her habit, her daughter, then in Class Eight, would not go to high school. She began to save a bit of the little money she made in earnest, unsure of what to eventually do with her savings.
