Welcome aboard . I was also in jkuat and one of the regrets i have was pesa ya helb was used to entertain the wrong kind of people instead of buying slaves when I was young .the good news is you are wise and have started early .

Back to your point ,you are doing the right thing and hapa there are people who are resourceful .I can't advise you what to buy and not but I'll give you this article for a beginning

1. Go to a Stock Broker;
2. Open an account (free of charge);
3. Fund the account; then
4. Come back here and you will get advise on the shares to buy.

NOTE -
For your convenience, it is advisable to pick a broker who has an online platform as well as an Mpesa Paybill number.

Also gather information by reading books and articles by those who have experience in the markets.

Some financial knowledge can help also well, plus knowledge on what the companies you invest in do and their products

First start by getting some financial knowledge. Read books like the intelligent investor by Ben Graham.

As long as the money is enough to buy 100 shares of a particular company then that is enough capital.You will biuld your portfolio slowly with patience. Take heed to what @ sparkly has said. Read Business Daily paper online. Read other articles on business matters and NSE listed firms.Be keen not to hurry in decision making.

Only use the media for information and not as the gospel truth. For investment decisions you must do your own research. If you can't investment in yourself to learn the market mechanics, stay out of the market. Otherwise the market will suck you dry.

The Intelligent Investor as already mentioned in the thread is a nice place to begin before you get into the market.
