At 29, Brenda Olembo is a High Court advocate who has discovered the importance of investing for her son's future.

Before the birth of her child, Olembo was saving with two Savings and Credit Co-operative Societies, but she wasn't doing anything with the money. However, after her son was born, she realized the need to secure his financial future.

She then signed up for finance classes to learn about investment options available in Kenya, which she describes as 'priceless knowledge.'

Currently, Olembo is investing in money markets and shares, with plans to eventually venture into bonds. She also cautions against investing in opportunities that promise high returns in short periods, emphasizing the need for due diligence.
