My names are john macharia born in the shababs of Nakuru i joined kawangware primary school in nairobi before my parents shifted to nakuru county were i joined nakuru high school.
After high school i did not make it to higher education i had many challenges as my parents were not stable financialy, i had to do labour works to raise money for basic needs and with time i graduated from being a labour to a mason, Job searching became the routine of my life and has people continued to know me i became popular and got many jobs near my home they call me josee fundi i like my wotrk and will wish to see my kids through school, i bought a motobike for transportation of materils to site when i get a contract and when am out of job i do transportation srvices at Nakuru bus station This motobike has helped me alot as when am busy i give it to my cousin whom brings me 400 kenya shillings in the evening after using the bike for transportation.
I like travelling and socialising.
My bussiness is transportation services using my motobike and building houses i have several clients whom i transport their children to school on a dailly basis now that the schools are opened transportation is at peak and i make 800 kenya shillings a day after refuelling the motobike.
I chose this bussiness out of demand my home is allitle far from the town and poor roads makes it hard for people to get to town using cars a motobike passes well and fast to reach.
I also use the motobike to transport materials to buillding sites this gives me a profit depending on negotiations with clients.
i feel my motobicycle 300 kenya shillings a day which gives me 1100 kenya shilling from transporting people to short distance in town.
My old helmet was broken on a accident i faced last december i need to buy a new one and a good reflecter so to fit into the traffick rules i also need tools for own repair incase i get a puncher or some nuts to tighten when doing my job, All this tools will cost me 20 us dollar a reflector vest will cost 8 us dollar and helmet will cost 12 us dollar.This will allow me to offer my services without breaking of traffick rules.
i will pay the loan in small amounts.
The money i make will go for school fees and basic needs after paying the loan.
God bless
