@saitoti,you have demonstrated from your brief that you have been one to identify an existing need in the prevailing environment and offer solutions to such identified needs. That is oneof the characteristics of an entrepreneur and which I urge you to continue exploiting. We may offer you suggestions but these notwithstanding,you need to scan your environs and determine that which makes sense there. Seeing that you are stilll in college,the most appropriate biz for you needs to be one within your college to enabel you effectively manage it as well as work on your academics.

Thanks for the advice to saitoti am actually the guy who wanted to start a matatu
business with 3m and almost everyone discouraged and wondered why other people
are still in it if it's that bad big up to you we need more positive people with heart like you .
I like your phrase 'Just do it' just like nike

@ Xtina,Kurutu,Georgee and Seq Lu,thank you.
You are real Kenyans doing real Things. I’m visualizing Seq Lu doing the water vendor business and on the side running a mobile phone and accessories shop. Meanwhile,Xtina is engaged in,among other businesses,feeding the nation. Your entrepreneurship life stories are awakening and inspiring . Kudos!!!

I was attending a mindspeak club meeting at nu metro cinemas in westgate on the 7th of February this year. I vividly remember one of the guests,the CEO of Radio Africa Group saying that he was once seeling fax machines and computers in Uganda on the side while being a senior employee of a world wide news agency. By his own words,he made good money from the trade.
I have also witnessed my primary school headmaster start a petrol station from a humble beginning of selling kerosene in soda bottles from some jua kali pump some seven years ago.
As I grew up in my home district,I witnessed some smart people buy large parcels of land,divide them into plots,and sell them after about 2 years making handsome profits.
Over this weekend,I managed to visit Narok. Cabbages that were usually being sold for 5/ were going for not less than 50/. A little research showed that this farmers had taken little advantage of the river in the town to irrigate the vegetables in some shambas they had leased in the area,it must have cost them peanuts considering what they’ll reap after the selling their produce. It’s a case of so many farms,so many owners but so little farmers. BTW,i met a head hunter over the weekend who told me that PWC produces an annual report of employment (best paying jobs,best paying fields,....) that they sell at 2000/ at their offices.

-Please read through to the end,thanks-
As technology seeps down the economy,Kenya is about to witness a rampant growth in content development and provision. With this,there will come a chance for all Kenyans to localise their international experience by working on their money minting ideas and situations. To come up with a business to reckon with,especially if you are in Diaspora,you might need a hand in Kenya. I could,or any other SK member for that matter,be that hand.
It may be that you fly often,or you know someone who does,and you could be importing some real good stuff (neither illegal nor contraband) to Kenya. Think of laptops,digital cameras,camcorders,mobile phones,jewellery,clothing,watches,wines,flashdisks and phone memory cards. Trust me; there is a large market for this. I hear some airlines staff do this and it has handsome returns.
Nobody is so poor that he has nothing to give; nobody is so rich that he has nothing to receive. WE,the Kenyan people,have repeatedly displayed incredible resilience and persistence against sometimes massive odds. In the entrepreneurial bankruptcy of this materialistic society,WE are determined to make a difference. WE say we cannot afford the absurdity of living in a country so rich yet so poor. Remember,this thread was started for the purpose of brainstorming ideas that could be transformed into profitable,sustainable and promising businesses. Stand up and be counted. God bless Kenya.
WE ARE ONE UNITED KENYA.

Boss.
If you can go into agriculture. Start by planting low risk food crops i.e dry foods,beans,peas,etc. You can then move to higher risk(and return crops) e.g tomatoes,cabbages etc. You dont have to own the land lease it. Start with like 5 acres. Your advantage is that youve not yet been brainwashed that people who wear ties are the ones who are doing well.
In another 3 - 5 yrs youll be really far off.
Be greedy when others are fearful,be fearful when others are greedy.
