How I made Sh90,000 while on leave by selling mangoes

Koome Mugambi, 32, is proud to finally earn the tag ‘entrepreneur’. Mr Mugambi has grown up dreaming about venturing into business, but had never had the courage to swim in unchartered waters. That was until December last year.

“I got a month’s leave from work from December 20, and I was so idle that I spent hours locked up in the house. Then I went home for the Christmas holidays and I was amazed at how many mangoes there were. The trees were leaning from the weight of mangoes, which were being sold very cheaply in local markets,” he said.
