My name is Emmanuel, and today I celebrate 3 years in the mtumba wholesale business at Gikomba Market.
When I started this journey, I had a simple dream—to build something that would provide for my family and help other traders grow their businesses. It hasn't been an easy road. Like any business, there have been challenges, disappointments, and moments of uncertainty.
Despite the difficulties, God has been faithful. We've served many customers from different parts of Kenya, and I'm grateful for the trust you've placed in my business. Your support has kept us going.
Currently, the business environment is not as favorable as before. Government restrictions and the repeated incidents of Gikomba market fires (kuchoma soko) have greatly affected many traders, including wholesalers like us. Even with these challenges, we remain hopeful and committed to serving our customers with quality bales at competitive prices.
To everyone who has bought from us, referred a customer, or supported this journey in any way—thank you. Your support means everything.
We are still here, still working, and still supplying quality wholesale mtumba bales from Gikomba.
