No turning back for teacher who started with Sh600

After training as a primary school teacher in 2013, William Ligami, 25, decided not to look for a teaching job.
Instead, Ligami, who lives in Narok County, decided to sell vegetables.
“I was alive to the fact that I was not going to get employment in the Government. I also did not wish to teach at a private school. I convinced myself that as I waited for a permanent job, I could be selling vegetables,” he says.
Armed with only Sh600, Ligami got into the business: “In fact, I did not require any structure. I chose a tree shade, which became my business base.

I only approached a supplier and with that I hit the road running. The Sh600 was all the money I had saved and I used it as capital. But I was determined to use the money prudently.”
