How dropout beat odds to build multi-million shilling business

Meshack Kimutai, 26, decided to try his hand at business in 2006 after dropping out of secondary school in Fom Two due to lack of fees— a move that has since spawned a business empire.

He left his Kapsabet home in Nandi County for Eldoret town where he found space at a garage behind Asis Hotel that he would later turn into a car wash yard. Mr Kimutai was only 16 then. Armed with only a bucket and water, he started washing cars manually, especially matatus, and earned Sh100 for every vehicle washed.
