Utajiri wa Ghafla: How I Finally Broke the Cycle of Poverty and Found Financial Stability
My name is Collins, born and raised in a small village in Bungoma where poverty was not just a condition , it was a tradition passed down like family land. My father struggled as a casual laborer, and my mother sold vegetables by the roadside. From a young age, I believed wealth was for other people — people in Nairobi driving big cars, not boys who walked barefoot to school.
After finishing college, I moved to Nairobi full of hope, but the city was ruthless. I slept in a friend’s single room in Kayole, surviving on one meal a day. Every job application ended in silence. I began believing that maybe poverty was my destiny.
Out of frustration and emotional exhaustion, I visited a doctor known for helping people overcome stagnation in life. There were no promises of miracles, only deep conversations about mindset, discipline, and strategic action. I was challenged to shift how I viewed money — not as luck, but as responsibility and structure.
I started small. I took a cleaning job, saved aggressively, and later opened a small electronics repair stall. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was consistent. Months turned into years. Today, I run a thriving electronics shop in Nairobi CBD. I support my parents comfortably and pay school fees for my siblings.
Wealth did not fall from the sky. It came when I stopped waiting for rescue and started building intentionally. Breaking poverty required courage, humility, and guidance.
