About Me

My name is Mumbe Mwiwa, born 26 years ago in the eastern side of Kenya. This is a semi-arid area with very poor infrastructure. Facilities like schools are far apart and I had to walk about 5 kilometers to get to school.

I did my primary and later secondary school in the same area and upon clearing my secondary education, I moved to Mombasa city where I joined my cousin who runs a computer bureau business. I started helping her while still learning computer literacy. I later moved to Likoni where I started my own bureau where I am still serving clients.

My Business

I run a computer bureau where my work entails typing documents and artwork design using a computer. I also assist people to access the internet where they do various transactions such as paying government taxes and doing emails.

I do this business in rented premises and that, together with other expenses, amounts to USD 110. This leaves me with about USD 150 and I live on this amount. I hope to expand my business in future so as to increase my income.

Loan Proposal

Slowly, and with Zidisha's assistance, my business is taking shape. I used the last loan to buy a desk for my computer and this has made my work very convenient. I now want to take this loan to enable me buy a secretarial chair. I am currently using an ordinary chair which causes back pains after long hours at work. A secretarial chair will allow me to adjust the position and also recline as needed. This will make me more comfortable and my productivity will increase. It will cost around $65 and this loan is just enough for that purpose.
