My name is Elkana Kibet Kitur. I come from Kericho county in formerly Rift Valley region of Kenya. We are small scale tea growers but due to land fragmentation, the activity is currently unprofitable. I attended local primary in my area and later and later secondary school through bursary sponsorship because my single parent could not raise secondary school school fees. I managed to score high grades that took me to the university through government sponsorship and student loan program and trained as a teacher. After graduation in 2013, getting a job as a teacher became difficult and when I got one the pay was low. I have always wanted to do online jobs as a freelancer in my pastime to get extra income. I have been trained as a freelancer and I would like to fully venture into the business on a full-time basis.
The business I do is online freelancing services where I work as an article writer. I write articles for different clients who pay for the services at a good pay because they are on high demand. I chose this business because developing creative content has been my strong areas as well as having good pay. Also, its a form of self employment. The costs incurred in this business are internet connectivity and a computer. The profit that I would realize would go into reinvestment and get more clients. Also, as a young person, I would like to improve my house by getting some furniture and electronics.
I am an enterprising and a hardworking freelancer. I write articles, academic papers and transcription. I have been doing this job for three years now and so far I'm doing good. The laptop that I am using is quit old and is slower than the current market and technological changes as well as its battery is dead. It also has a low memory capacity for storage of my files.
I have posted my application for two months without success of full funding.
I intended to get Hp 3115 4 GB RAM. It costs $260, but I will first hire a laptop for a month at a fee of $40 and I will still seek for $260 later.
With the hired laptop, I expect to do more work per day and therefore my earnings will increase. I will appreciate your help. Thank you.
