Hi Everyone,
My name is Samira Mudora and am from Kenya.am 33 years.I live in the capital city of Kenya,Nairobi.
Am in a relationship and live with my partner and 4 year old niece here in Nairobi.
I have a small shop in the city center where i sell computers,parts and accessories.The business is slowly getting to its feet and am happy and thank God for that.i started the business duo to lack of employment and also because i wanted to go on my own and see my hard work bear fruits.The profits i make from my small shop i try to add to stock eg blank cd,flash drives etc.My dream is to open a big shop and sell Laptops,Servers,and tablets..,as my passion is in IT
Kenya is still a developing country hence IT business tends to work well.i studied IT and have a passion for it.Before opening my own business i had worked almost 8 years in an IT company so i have the necessary skills to get myself above the competition.Through the said experience,i know where to get all accessories at the lowest prices and i already have a small costumer base that i hope to expand by vising schools in the rural areas and advertising my business.right now,my monthly cost of running the business is ksh 80,000/=.this includes rent
,and salary of one employee.on an average month i make a profit of 120-150 thousand.
i want to use the loan to expand and start selling laptops and tablets especially
First of all,let me take this opportunity to sincerely thank the whole Zidisha staff,plus all the lenders that participate in making us,the borrowers, succeed in what we do.My first loan helped me a lot.i was able to add blank cds,memory cards ,flash disks,and photocopy papers in my shop.and the turnover has been amazing.i was able to repay the loan in time even though i had a few hiccups on the way
Am now back and asking the lenders for another loan.this time,together with the sale of ,accessories i want to start doing printing,scanning,photocopy (both black and coloured).Above my shop there is a small college and i've seen there is need for such services,i am also planning to start typing for my clients.So am looking to buy a big 3 in 1 (PRINTER/SCANNER/COPIER)to do this business with.Thanks once again
