About Me

My name is Virginia Musyoki, born in Machakos county near Nairobi city. I was brought up in a typical rural home in a family of 3 and I am the second born. My parent are small scale farmers and this is what they do for their upkeep.

I went to primary and later secondary school around my home area and later joined a computer college where I did a course in computer graphics and design. I later relocated to Mombasa where I got a job as a computer operator. I later opened a small computer bureau with savings that I had made from my previous job.

I am a hardworking person and a go getter and I believe in honest living. I am an active member of my church where I belong to various groups within the church.

My Business

As stated above, I own a computer bureau where I do a number of computer related work such as typesetting, printing, documents lamination and binding. My business is located in Mombasa city in an area that is densely populated and this is a big advantage since I am always assured of a large group of clients who come to seek my services.

However, I face a number challenges key among them lack of credit to expand the business. In spite of these challenges, I the prospects of my business looks bright and I since I have already established a good number of loyal clients in the last five years that I have been in this business.

My average net income per month is about $200 and I am hoping that this figure will go up if I get a credit line from Zidisha.

Loan Proposal

I intend to spend this loan as follows:

1. 20 reams of photocopy paper at a total cost of $65
2. 1 flat ream of Art paper (thick type) at a total cost of $30

This will boost my business in a big way since it will ensure that I have a constant supply of consumables thus increase my efficiency.

Thank you.
