Boy, 13, Funds School Fees With Caribbean Food Business

A 13-year-old boy from Surrey has successfully funded his substantial school fees through his entrepreneurial ventures. Starting at the age of six by selling plants outside his father's office, his initial goal was to pay for singing lessons to become a chorister.

This early ambition led to the development of a business that expanded from plants to other products before specializing in Caribbean food. His efforts have not only helped him contribute to his £4,000-per-term school fees at The Prebendal School but also enabled him to achieve his dream of becoming the first Black chief chorister at Chichester Cathedral.

Supported by his family, particularly his father Abdul, who manages the business while Malaki is at school, the young entrepreneur has demonstrated remarkable business acumen. His success has allowed him to purchase musical instruments and contribute profits to various charities, highlighting a well-rounded approach to his achievements.
