It’s a chilly morning. Evans has walked close to five kilometers to school bare footed. The little tea he took in the morning is now cold in his stomach. The pair of shorts he is in has undergone several repairs until you can hardly tell its original color. But the little boy has an unstoppable spirit. He is determined to learn.
The teacher walks in and says, “You are going to write a composition about ‘my home’ and you have only forty minutes.” It is an earthen house that Evans calls home. The roof leaks profusely and they have to move the fireplace every time it rains lest the waters put off the fire. But he is a bright boy. He has big dreams, wide and wild imaginations. In his composition he narrates his home as a bungalow, a term he learnt in his curious look ups in his tattered dictionary. And when the teacher brings back the pieces of work, his piece stands out.
Today what Evanson Nthiga a 24 year old does is search the internet for web masters and website designers who require properly formatted text content for their websites. He then negotiates a deal to research and develop the required content and even format it for easier uploading on the already created websites.
Since web content development is similar to blogging, Evans also does blog writing for professional bloggers, besides running two blogs of his own. Since part of his work involves formatting text for direct uploading on website, he has learned quite a lot about HTML, the language used to develop websites.
This gave birth to a new passion and has evolved into a new company all together; Kenya Webs. With Kenya Webs, Evans develops websites for individuals, organizations and institutions, his main focus being on schools and churches.
There are many other writing platforms in the internet where people get paid after writing articles depending on the employer’s specifications. Evans puts his hand on these once in a while and gets his pay in dollars. The composition experiences have finally proved worthwhile.
Talk of job creation rather than employment. He also runs several other companies despite being a holder of an Education degree acquired from Maseno University. One of them is DigiWorld Company which was born when he was in his second year of university. This is a computer services company that provides a wide range of services from printing to computer maintenance. It has two main branches: one in Narok and the other in Naivasha town.
The other company he runs is called DaSo Motors which he started after the motor bike business underwent a boom in the country. It is a higher purchase company that enables the youth acquire motor bikes without any collateral, guarantors or down payment. The plan is that within the first twelve months of owning the bike, they are expected to make as much money as they can but deliver ksh.300 or ksh.400 on a daily basis. The company today has close to 20 bikes and each of them raises a minimum of ksh8, 000 per month. This adds up to Ksh160, 000 per month.
He has also tried his hand in agriculture which is still his passion and now has a project underway that will see his first farm become operational, probably by the end of 2012, on a 1.5 acre land recently acquired in Embu County.
Turning major stumbling blocks into stepping stones is what Evans has learnt as the tip to success. He did not let his background affect his future.  Today it is a different story altogether. The multicolored shorts are no more and the smoke of the fireplace only exists in his memory.
