Born and bred in Kitui County where she studied both her primary and secondary school education, this determined lady entrepreneur has battled against many challenges to create a business success story that is locally admired. Eunice started with a Diploma in Banking and Finance at MKU in May 2012 and later enrolled for a Bachelor in Commerce from Jan 2014 to July 2017 when she graduated.
The urge to start a business was from the fact that she loved job creation based on Chairman MKU Board of Trustees prof Simon Gicharu’s motto, “…we train job creators and not job seekers.” She embraced this and since then she has remained focused. With a starting capital of sh7500, this enabled her to penetrate into the business world right after graduating. The business so far has grown to a turnover of Ksh. 47000 per month.
“Success only comes to those who believe in the beauty of their dream.”

She also believes success is a journey; a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step and that success only comes to those who believe in the beauty of their dream. Eunice further advises upcoming entrepreneurs;
“Never compare themselves with others.”
“Start small with whatever you have.”
“Believe in the beauty of your dream and success will finally locate you.”
Lastly, she attributes her success and inspiration from his dad who is a businessman and Mount Kenya University for giving her the opportunity to interact with people and gain the courage to forge ahead her ideas.
