About Me

I am young Kenyan who has found it hard like many other Kenyans to secure a job. I am IT trained and used to have a good job in the years 2005 to 2007 when the election violence rocked our country. I was working in a volatile area and had to leave all my belongings to save my life. It has been job application after job application with no luck and money to advance my education. I have since then bought a water pump and jumped into the construction center after advice from a close friend who has succeeded in the same water pump business.

My Business

While based in Kahawa West, I am now in the construction industry through my water pump business. I have a unique advantage of coupling it with my IT skills for small wiring jobs. I do not have the capital to do everything now plus build a business is a process which in my opinion, i am on the right track. I need to buy a few things that will ensure I offer the best services to clients and eventually buy another pump to be able to tackle more than one job at once.

Loan Proposal

After buying a new pipe with the help of a zidisha loan, business was better in terms of efficiency because i am now able to tap water from a longer distance with ease. New challenges have come up which i have to address. There is more spillage due to the high volumes plus i have been picking up more residue into my pump.

A loan will aid in purchasing metallic connectors for the spillage and a metallic sieve for the residue intake. I am having to do with taping with a band plus a chicken wire at the water source which are not doing a good job
