About Me

I am Kennedy Kipkoech Bii 27 years old.I was born in Kericho Buret District on 17 Jan 1989.I am a 3rd born of a family of 5 siblings. My parents live in Eldoret Kimumu town. my father is a Teacher and he is called Ernest Ngeno and my mother is called Jane Ngeno who is a business Lady.I started my childhood education in 1997 in a school called Emdin Primary school in Uasin Gishu District with an aspiration of becoming a PILOT someday .i kept on studying and worked very hard in school in order to achieve my future dream .i later joined Tenwek High School in Bomet Town to pursue my High school Education. i worked hard in school with a very great aspiration of becoming a pilot someday. i later passed my examination and applied to join PHOENIX EAST AVIATION IN UNITED STATES. i was given a chance but unfortunately my parents didn't had money to fund my education though in my mind i still had my dream of becoming a PILOT. I later applied to study my PILOTING course in Kenya and therefor i got a chance to do it at SKYLINK FLIGHT SERVICES at Wilson AIRPORT.Thanks to GOD for today i am still pursuing my dream until today and struggling to pay my school fees,i have a great faith that one day i will complete it and help my fellow colleagues to fulfilled their dreams too..my hobby is driving, navigating planes , travelling and swimming..Due to very high school fees i decided to start a business in aid of my fees, i later came up of a business of buying and selling second hand HEADSETS TO YOUNG PILOTS STUDENDS.HEADSETS ARE USED IN COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A PILOT AND A TOWER ATTENDANCE.

My Business

I provide (DAVID CLERKS ) Headsets.The use of this equipment is for communication of A Pilot, a Pilot student or an instructor or any other person on air between them and the control tower attendance in order to have a safe and nice flight.These equipment is very useful because no one is allowed to fly a plane without it and pilot trainees are instructed to have it in every flight they are to undertake .(David clerks headsets) are on demands highly because of it being very light not tedious , durability and it function very well three times more than other headsets .I decided to choose this kind of business because i understand it very well myself being a PILOT TRAINEE .Also this kind of business is very profitable because if you sell one you get a profit of even 5000/- KES considering the fact that the users are increasing day by day i mean the students. Buying a second hand headset costs 10,000/- AND sell is between 15000 and 20000 which really has got a high profit of between 5000 and 10000.The profits i get i use it to finance my school fees and also sending it to my mother at home who is a businees lady raring chicken of which i am her partner in the business too.I also help my siblings in terms of pocket money and other basic needs.So with this Zidisha loan i intent to expand my business to a higher knot . i truly appreciate the one who invited me because truly i will progress through Zidisha.

Loan Proposal

If i receive the loan, i will use it to expand my business of buying and selling second hand HEADSETS For young Pilot trainees ;The second hand Headsets each costing 100$ AND SELLING IT AT between 150$ and 200$ thus making a profit of between 50$ and 100$ each Headset.The first benefit i will gain through profits is to pay my flying fees as i am a Pilot trainee myself.The other benefits is for others like availing Affordable headsets to junior Pilot trainees which will help them fulfill their dreams in an affordable way.I will also help my young siblings to help them study by paying part of their school fees and other required items in school.For my business i expect my profit to increase of up to 50 to 70 %. and i will be grateful.
