About Me

I was born in the city of Kisii, Africa Kenya, Kisii County. I enrolled school in 1996 at Eronge Primary Schools and then I joined Kereri Girls High School. After my secondary education I joined college at Kisumu whereby I pursued a diploma in information technology. I did not have enough school fees for continuing my education. After college I decided to look for a job whereby I got and starting saving. Later I decided to open a business with my little saving. I started with two machines but right now I have eight machines. My hobbies are making friends, traveling and reading.

My Business

I work in Kisii town whereby I have a cyber and I offer the following services typesetting, printing, lamination and binding to clients. Most of my customers are university and college students whom I type and print proposals and assignments. The services for the cyber are of high demand because students must search and print when writing a proposal or assignments. Nowadays Colleges and universities are around where my business is. I chose the business because it offers continuity and flow of work since students are still learning. I wish to be funded so that I can purchase new machines for the good work so that I can attract more customers because the ones I have already it has become too old and even they are not good for my customers, they are complaining about it.

Loan Proposal

I will purchase a photocopier machine for my clients. After typesetting and printing for them i see most of them they require a photocopies. The photocopy will cost $600. The difference is that i made more profit than them because my machines were doing services well hence my clients were appreciating my services. I want my profit to increase up to 90%.
