Movers & Shakers: Gideon Kyalo

Now, the culture of saving is not exactly very common among Kenyans, but one Gideon Kyalo, did manage to mobilise adequate savings from a meagre salary to transform himself into an entrepreneur of no mean refute. Kyalo is the proprietor of a chain of schools, and desires to impart knowledge to a youthful generation of entrepreneurs, having had to surmount a myriad of challenges going through formal education, himself. Tonny Sanya spent time with Kyalo and brings us his story in our edition of movers and shakers.

[suekenya]

thats awesome...

[Laaaification]

@surambaya I was going to say the same thing 'that maybe he does not need to go to school'. There are so many who have gone to school but cant even run a 'kiosk'. He has done what is taught in entrepreneurship 101, if you dont have the skill, hire it. So encouraged by him... bless him!

@MildredMbogo - The kind of business acumen he has doesn't get taught in too many schools out there. Besides, didn't the likes of Richard Branson and Andrew Carnegie drop out of school, not to mention other Kenyan mega-businessmen? Gideon just has a heavy accent and some verbal errors here and there in much the same way as a Russian or a Frenchman would, which is not really a measure of his intelligence. Just saying.....

Awesome. I love Gideon's spirit and the kids seem to love him too.

@MildredMbogo

[MildredMbogo]
