“We were making sales that were as little as Sh200 per day and at the end of the month had to borrow money for rent and so we decided to sell it off and buy enough fruits’ stock,”

As for selling off the store and everything in it, they were asked if they contacted their sponsor Bonfire before selling the store off. They said their sponsor was always busy and never encouraged them on how to maintain it so they sold it.

“Our mentor was always busy. He never shared any business tips so in the end we had to make a decision on our own.”

It was reported that the supposed sponsor refuted the couple’s claims over not been availab Bonfire Adventures, through its marketing manager, however refuted the claims stating:

“We have been with them all though even during the recent baby shower we were with them. Let me find out exactly what happened and get back to you.”
