How Roy Uses His Passion to Care for People in His Community

It is an opportunity to take care of people, support them when they are not feeling well and, most importantly, see them recover.

As a doctor by profession, Roy spends his time working with patients and helping them through different health challenges in Mtitu Andei.

While the work comes with its own pressures, he says what keeps him going is his love for taking care of people and nursing them back to better health.

For him, there is something special about seeing a person walk into the hospital unwell and later leave feeling much better.

Like many young Kenyans building their future, Roy started with the resources he had.

He says he relied on his savings and support from his parents as he worked towards building his career. Hakukuwa na shortcut, alitumia what was available, accepted the support he received and kept pushing forward.

His experience shows the importance of having some money set aside when working towards a major goal. Whether ni career, business, school or learning a new skill, savings can give you the breathing room to make your next move.

Hata kama savings ni kidogo, it can still help you take that first step.

The bigger lesson ni kuanza na what you have instead of waiting until everything is perfect.

For Roy, seeing patients recover is one of the biggest rewards of his work.

Anapenda kuona mtu aliyekuwa sick akianza kuwa better. After spending time helping someone through their health challenge, seeing that person recover gives him a sense of satisfaction.

Imagine meeting someone akiwa in pain, helping them through that difficult moment, then seeing them walk away feeling better. Kwa Roy, hiyo feeling is hard to replace.

His motivation is therefore not just about earning an income. He enjoys knowing that his work can make a real difference in someone's life.

Na hiyo ndiyo reason he keeps showing up, even on the days when the job gets tough.

Working with people comes with its own challenges.

Roy says some clients can be rude, and dealing with different personalities is part of his everyday work. Mtu anaweza kuwa frustrated, worried or simply having a bad day and sometimes you end up receiving that frustration.

Instead of allowing difficult interactions to discourage him, he focuses on his work and giving patients the care they need.

For him, respect and love still matter, even when the interaction is not easy.

Hii ni lesson hata kwa hustlers and business owners. Si kila customer atakuwa easy. Kuna wale watakukasirikia, wengine watacomplain and others may not appreciate your work immediately.

But you still have to show up, stay professional and do your best.

Roy's message to MESHers is keep going and believing in yourself, “Jitume.”

Building a career, business or hustle takes time. Sometimes things will move quickly, other times utajiuliza kama efforts zako zinaenda mahali.

Roy's journey shows the importance of using what you have, accepting support when it is available and continuing to put in the work.

Usingoje everything ikae perfect ndio uanze. Save what you can. Learn as you go. Take opportunities when they come and treat people well along the way.

Whether you are building a career, growing a biashara or chasing a personal goal, consistency matters.

Start with what you have. Keep learning. Keep showing up. Na, most importantly, jitume.
