STUDENT TESTIMONIAL:

In 2017 I graduated from university and was excited to start my career. I was very optimistic and began to hand out my resume, only to find that this journey was more challenging than I ever expected. Six months later, I was still unemployed and worried about my future.

I began to search for a side hustle to sell second-hand clothing and one day noticed a post on Facebook about the opportunities in beekeeping. A few more months passed when I learned about online training in beekeeping offered by eLengo! This course was educational, and I was again filled with hope, but I now had a different dream.

I decided to move back to my home in Machakos, where my parents had some idle land. I officially became a beekeeper with a small investment to buy the right equipment!

Today I am almost two years into the journey and am making more money than I would have if I had found a job in Nairobi! It took a lot of hard work, but I am now proud to have a profitable farm and be my boss.

Thank you so much, eLengo, for teaching me the basics of beekeeping. I would not be here without you. I strongly recommend this course, and I guarantee you will not regret it!
