About Me

Am Kevin Owiti ID number 27568138,twenty five years of age,am the last born in a family
of nine seven boys and two ladies.
I hold a diploma in Information Communication Technology from Inoorero University,was employed
As the head of IT from April 2013 till August 2013 when I decided to get into business full time
I decided to get into the business due low payment and there was no room for growth in the company
That’s when I decided to start a cyber café with the money I had saved during the time I was employed
Right now I have 10 computers and I have employed 2 people in my business ,am still looking forward to expand to other places of the country ,the profit I made from the business help me in paying my school fees and rent.
In line with the government policies of providing every child with laptops in the whole country I a position my business to be establish in the rural areas of Kenya to tap in the need of people to use ICT.

My Business

Kenya is the hub of ICT in east and central Africa and the government is also taping into it by introduction of fiber optic cable which is fast and reliable to most of the citizens in country.
am planning to pay back the money two installments of 4000
with 10% of the total amount given.
My cyber café business is situated in a busy Nairobi town where daily we get customers from all over
The country that comes to get essential services from government offices, my business provide scanning
Of documents, printing,internet. Which is essential for the common man in Kenya, we make about
Ksh2000 per day and on a good day we can make ksh5000 per day.
I would love to expand my business by purchasing more computers with the loan .am a very hard working person who can be relied on to pay back the loan if given.
One computer (desktop cost ksh13000) so if I can add one computer from the loan given I can generate
Ksh 200 or more from one computer that will just pay the loan in 40days.

    Thanks lenders for having confidences in me and lending me the money ,I must say that the cash that I have been given has had a huge impact in my family and my extended ones because right now am paying for my cousin school fees after he drooped out of school after the parents passed on ,the profit I make is helping to change the face of my community by also giving back interns of offering internships to students who has cleared high school and are willing to learn how to use a computer.

    i find it a bit diffcult to pay each week becouse in my business most most of my customers tend to use my cyber mostly on weekends, so i would like to propose that what am suppose to pay per week i should add then pay at the end of the month which should be 293*4=1172 per month.
    but if i get any cash before the stipulated time i will always pay as i have been doing before and i sure you that i will strive to clear my loan in the stipulated time frame
