Lester Mkanda is a Malawian Irish Inspirational Entrepreneur. Born in a dusty ghetto of Malawi Lester lost both of his parents by the age of 13, with so many deaths in his family, his childhood was filled with tears, poverty, fear and loneliness a very unpleasant situation which forced him to grow up fast and become mature beyond his age. In search for greener pasture at a young age Lester migrated to South Africa hoping to get any kind of odd jobs to help him get by, but things got even worse there before they got any better. With absolutely nobody around to lend him a helping hand Lester became homeless in that foreign land sleeping on cardboard boxes outside shops from where he would wake up each morning not knowing where his next meal was going to come from. Despite all the hardships that Lester was going through, he maintained a positive attitude towards life, worked hard and remain optimistic that things would someday get better. That dream came to life when years later he landed at Dublin airport to start his new life in Europe with absolutely nothing but a backpack carrying few pairs of clothes, he had holes in his socks and big dreams in his heart. From there he went on to building a business empire for himself. Lester is married to a fellow immigrant lady of Hungarian origin and together they have 2 children and lives in their family home in Ireland. His current mission is to unashamedly use his life story and experiences to inspire and motivate those that are going through the challenges of life so they will begin to see themselves differently and begin to look for ways to turn their very own lives around and start to rise UP FROM THE DUST.
