Five years ago, Moses Githaiga from Kieni constituency, Nyeri County, used to sharpen knives for a living. He used a bicycle to move from house to house sharpening clients’ knives for as little as Sh10 per knife.
“After one year of sharpening knives, I started selling red onions. I would travel to Kiawara Market in Kieni constituency where I would buy the onions from the farmers and sell them in Nyeri town,” Githaiga explains.
