Last time I was here at the college was March 2022. At that time, the fuel station had just opened along with the beginnings of a hardware store for the locals.
Now I’m back, and it’s great to see further progress on this part of the college complex
The forecourt is completely finished, the hardware store is fully open and stocked according to local needs, there are car and motorbike washing facilities, and there is a shop unit being used to showcase garments made by the fashion and design students.
At this time of economic hardship for everyone, the benefits of this multi-function garage are significant. The boda boda guys don’t have to drive 7 miles just to refuel, and therefore don’t have to shoulder the cost of 14miles of fuel, which means they can keep their prices down. Those who need items from the hardware store can get them locally without having to add on the price of fuel to get to mityana. Similarly Those who need tailoring services also don’t need to add in transport costs to getting their tailoring problems solved. And new small businesses are being generated as people get to see just what wonderful tailors are coming from the college.
Wonderful progress that is bringing benefit to so many.
