Elphas Bwanarusi, a Kenyan entrepreneur, has shared an inspiring story of how he started a KSh 2.8 million business with minimal capital.
According to Bwanarusi, he began his cereal business in 2017 with just 10 kilograms of 'sura mbaya' beans and 10 kilograms of Yellow beans.
He sold his produce by the roadside since he did not have a shop, and relied on well-cut plastic containers as his measuring equipment, as he did not have a weighing machine.
Despite these humble beginnings, Bwanarusi has managed to build an empire worth KSh 2.8 million, with different branches spread across the country.
His post on the 52-week Savings Challenge Kenya Facebook group has encouraged and inspired many people who agree with him that everything is possible where there is great will.
However, TUKO.co.ke cannot confirm if Bwanarusi's story is legitimate or if he is among the many idle youth trying to entertain Kenyans on social media.
