Life is not easy at all especially when you come from a community that insists on education and you do not have it.
This is not different to Wesley Kemboi, a resident of Moi's Bridge area, Soy constituency whose highest level of education is primary, class two.
The 21-year-old admits that he had no interest in school especially since he was punished by his English teacher after he failed to submit an assignment in time.
Kemboi says he could go hide in the marketplace and sometimes travel to Eldoret town to mingle with street children whenever he was forced to go to school by his parents.
After several years of dodging school, Wesley says he bought a chick at Sh150, the money he was given by a good samaritan in Eldoret town.
After about a year, the chick had multiplied into several chickens.
This was a turning point to Kemboi's life as he went back to one of the hotels in Eldoret town where he requested to be supplying chickens for sale.
After a fruitful negotiation with the hotel manager, he was allowed to supply ten chickens each day at Sh350.
"I want to thank that person who helped me. He gave me the money and asked me to go and buy a chick and today am earning a living from his idea," Kemboi said.
After a month of supplying chicken to one hotel, Kemboi sought out to other hotels in town and to date, he is a proud supplier of chickens to 15 different hotels each taking at least 10 a day.
Each of the chicken is sold at Sh350 translating to Sh52,500 that the 21-year-old earns in a single day.
He is now planning to engage even more hotels so that he can increase his earnings and expand the chicken business.
