My Business
i am run a place where i teacher people how to use computer and make clothes. i began with computer awareness when i got my second loan from zidisha that enabled me to buy computers. today i have 8 computers that are used by my learners. I do teacher at least 6- 8 learners every day from Monday to Friday, from this business of computer awareness, I got an ideal of teaching people how make clothes, i started this business of teaching people how to make clothes last year 2016 when i bought 6 sewing machines that are used by 8 learners daily. if get zidisha funds I plan to expand these two businesses for there many who need these skills in their day to day life style.
Loan Proposal
To start a computer awareness class in the countryside that will enable both teachers, parents and school leavers to be computer literate. computer awareness classes are mostly found in major towns and therefore people in the countryside find it difficult to access them.
when brought near them it will give them an opportunity to be computer literate. Today many applications and forms are filled online and it becomes difficult for those who are not computer literate to fill them online. This classes will give them opportunity to know how to fill them on their own.
the Government of Kenya intends to introduce laptop classes in all public primary schools. Parents and teachers will have an opportunity to be computer literate as their children do so in schools.
i intend to buy new computer sets that will be placed in a shopping centre that is accessible to many inhabitats on daily basis. Each computer set will cost $170 a total of $510. Each computer set will be used by 5-6 learners per day, a total of about 15-18 people will have an opportunity to become computer literate in a day.
in 2-3 months, this people will be able to complete the normal computer packages.
