About Me
Good morning all members of Zidisha organization, My name is Alex Ndiema, a Kenyan Citizen by birth, 35 years old and a father of two children, we live in mbotela estate, Makadara sub-county, Nairobi County, Kenya. My permanent home address is; Trans-nzoia County, Saboti Sub-county, Machewa location, Bondeni village.
I went to Mt. Elgon Primary School and sat for my KCPE Examination in the year 1997, I passed well but was unable to Join Secondary School due to fee problem. I was forced to stay at home the whole year (1999). During that time I did some business (Photography, I remember borrowing a camera from friends on commission basis till I bought my own; Yashica, up to date I have that Camera for remembrance). I joined St. Marys Secondary School in the year 2000 and did my KCSE exam in the year 2003. I did well but was bot lucky to join university, I did some Computer packages in the year 2005, there after got a casual Job in industrial area; Sumaria Industries Limited where I worked for 5 good years.
My Business
In year 2007 I married and got a child, the cash I was getting was not enough to cater for my daily needs. I decided to venture into business with the little that I had saved, I starting from mandazi business, shop keeping, Cyber cafe with two computers and a printer (hp 3-in-one; scan, copy & print) The business had little or no competitor, so I grew up very fast, I had a lot of customers but few computers, it was not late to re-organize myself since I got introduced to Zidisha by a friend (Abigael), from there Zidisha took charge of my finances as far as business expense and assets are concerned. Right now I have a full Cybercafe, an equipped Photo Studio, an Mpesa and lastly but list, I have started doing supplies. Glory be to God and much thanks to Zidisha and my lenders.
Loan Proposal
I will buy a color printer. ( Epson R Series which I came across from a neighboring cyber). the Printer is capable of printing up to A3 size. That means that I will be able to print Calenders, Posters and other materials for individuals and institutions.
The cost of the Printer is 443.84 US Dollar. I will have to top up in order to purchase the printer.
I will be able to print photographs and other colored documents from my Cyber cafe. Right now in my area, we only have two such printers, we tent to make queue especially during holidays because many people want to print photographs, so, I am quite sure this will help the entire society and they will not waste time queue again.
I believe this will increase my income hence uplift my living standards.
I expect my profit to increase and hopping that I will be able to pay school fees for my son who is in class five and my daughter who has just joined baby class.
