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

I will buy 5 reams of printing paper with this money. I use this paper to do photocopy services as well as printing the work that I do with the computer. This stock will last for 3 months and I will be able to save money since I will get a good discount since I will buy them in bulk.

I hope benefit from more bigger loans which help me grow my business even further. This will mean more income for me and give me a better quality life.

Thank you.
