About Me

I have a big vision of assisting more than 20 youths monthly so that they can be able to cater for their bills and better their lives. I have done this by offering computer training at low cost and keeping them up to date with the ever changing technology. I also provide training to school kids from the community to get them to learn computer technology at a tender age!

I promise to do my part and make sure that I give you updates and repay my loan in time to help others.

My Business

My dream is too see school kids and youths from slum gain knowledge which will make them get employment or be self employed later.

Loan Proposal

I need to get another room and buy 5 more computers as the number of youths coming for the service is growing day by day. Kids from neighboring schools who do not have electricity and computer at their school also come for computer lessons for a very low cost. This expansion will be beneficial to me as well as the community.

    Dear lenders
    I want to take this opportunity to apologize for the delay in paying back the loan. It's a long story and things were tough on my side.
    I promise to resume in January 2019 since I depend on students who are currently on long holiday.
    Once again I assure u lenders that I will pay to the last cent.
    Thank you all.

      Dear Hope2012,
      Sorry for delay in replying. Happy belated New Year 2016! I had traveled to upcountry whereby accessing to internet is next to impossible.
      Now am back to town and this have started running as usual.
      Thanks for your concern.

    Dear Lenders,
    Business is doing great well with many students enrolling for training as well as customers who come for internet services.
    As we approach December holiday, many will travel upcountry and come back in January and therefore I expect a huge intake of students in January.
    The new computers are in good shape and has brought a new life in the market.
    Thank you all lenders who stood with me in this journey!

    Dear Lenders,
    Its my joy to share the experience of the expanded computer class whereby I was able to get 3 Pentium IV computers, which brought competition to students.
    They literally fight as to who will use the "new" computers as everyone is excited to use them. Currently I apply the "first come first serve rule" whereby the latecomers used the old , slow machines.
    I hope to upgrade them next time and have all "new" computers.
    Thanks to all my lenders and your effort is changing lives of many students and enabling them enjoy technology changes.

    Hello again
    I'm afraid I was offline and just didn't see this loan in time or I would have helped out. But it seems you got funded anyway :)
    As ever, best wishes

      Hope 2012,
      Thanks very much for breaking the silence, I was very worried since I was checking and I could not see any lending you have done.
      I thank God you are fine. Am doing great as I have already expanded the computer class and more students are able to gain the necessary knowledge in IT.
      Once again thank for your concern about my loan and this far i count your effort since you have been a good friend always there in time of need.
      All the best.

    Hello Duncan Chege,

    I see you only have a few hours left and am surprised that you have not reached full funding by now.

    I always recognize your fundraising loans from the wonderful profile photo you have with the children.

    Please do not be discouraged. You can repost the loan application. I am sure that you will be able to raise the funds for this, your fourth loan.

    37% and only 5 days remaining!!!!!!
    I have a big vision of assisting more than 20 youths monthly so that they can be able to cater for their bills and better their lives. I have done this by offering computer training at low cost and now its time to add driving course where they will get a driving licence.
    Driving skills is a necessity especially for sales and marketing youths which go round marketing their merchandise and this will make more youths marketable.

  • Duncan    Jul 23, 2014

    7 days to go and only 34%
    Kindly lenders support this vision as it will serve the community to eradicate computer illiteracy as well as adding driving course to the youths hence creating more jobs for computer operators as well as Drivers both in companies and private.
    My dream is too see youths from slum gain knowledge which will make them get employment or be self employed.
    Over a period of time about 10 youths graduate on monthly basis with computer certificate and they have been absorbed in companies at various departments while others have started online writing which is earning good money.
    Driving skills is a necessity especially for sales and marketing youths which go round marketing their merchandise and this will make more youths marketable.

    The far that I have reached is through the effort of Zidisha and it has helped me to achieve my dreams which initially were like they will never come true. I have no doubt in my mind that even now Zidisha and all lenders will come to my aid and fund this loan for my community to benefit from this wonderful project.
    Thanking you all for your generous bidding and want to assure you that I will not let you down.
