About Me

I am Watonyi Murumba from Kenya, born from a middle income family. am 29 years old with ambitious personality. as a child I grew up in a society where majority of the people are not well off in terms of living standards so my vision was to grow in a community where our lives is better with good health and secure environment. I finished my diploma in marketing at Kibabii university in the year 2013,currently am self employed working in the ICT sector owning a cyber Cafe wich serves the entire community. I brought the services to the people wich they previously accessed it with difficulty. They hard to travel to the nearest town 20km away to get the services.

My Business

As self employed person my business is generally in ICT. I came up with an ICT center in our community so that I can offer services to the community at a lower cost .i run a fully equipped Cyber Cafe and a Computer College where I offer basic computer skills to students who have finished their secondary education and anybody who is interested in learning basic computer skills. I also venture in photography and events planning as part of my business. am currently seeking funds to expand my printing unit. I need to purchase a photocopier machine wich will cost Ksh 100000 shillings

Loan Proposal

I intend to raise 50,000sh through zidisha that will see me acquire two computers and one router that will enable me give Internet services such as emailing,browsing, online application to my community members.currently I use a modem and one computer which is slow and I can't do some services such as online application which may take up to 30 min.inturn I am giving back to the community as I plan to introduce free two computer packages Ms word and Internet and emailing to my community members all they will require is to register with only 400sh that will Carter for the service offered.this will be beneficial because currently government services are digitized and many people are unawarely charged high when they don't know what to do and they must do them.I intend to raise slowly until I achieve to get the required amount through zidisha
