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 acquired an extra computer for my business. I ran short of cash to buy a desk for it at my work station.
With this money, I will be able to get a desk for this computer. This will cost me USD 45 and therefore this loan will be enough to buy it.
Thank you.
