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 recently got a big order for printing school diaries. This will require about 30 reams (of 500 leaves each ) of paper at a cost of $100. Therefore this money will help me do the job and complete it.

I hope to make a good profit after the completion of this job and this will contribute to the growth of my business.
