About Me

I was born in 1987.i went through primary school then highschool just like any other kenyan.i joined kenya polytechnic in 2009 to pursue a diploma in tourism management.i cleared in 2012 and went to the coast to look for a job.6months later i was stil jobless and thats when i started freelance tourguiding.i offer tourguiding service to tourists and i manage well because i have a great knowledge in animals and touristic sites in general.but since december last year the tourism sector has gone dormant and that has rendered me jobless and thats why i decided to start writting on a full time basis.

My Business

From my previous application,its clear that am a tourguide by proffesion but due to the current tourism situation in kenya the tourism sector has gone dormant and rendered me jobless.
But since 2013 i have been doing online academic writting during my freetime.But with my current state of unemployment,am now doing it full time.i do assignments and projects for university and college students who have no time to do it mostly because they are busy working with other things like family or works as most them are part time students or they are taking evening classes.i chose this kind of bussiness so that i can get rid of my joblessness and idleness and on the other hand am my own boss.
For the few months i have been doing academic writting fulltime the costs am incurring per month are electricity-15 $ and internet whereeby i use a modem-25$.i have so far used the profits i have made for fees for my daughter and paid my bills.

Loan Proposal

With the loan,i want to enrol in a college to further my german.currently am having a A1 level certificate and it limits me alot in terms of communicating with my guests.after the shortcourse i wil then have advance A2 level and that will increase the chances of me getting more visitors as i can communicate fluently then.

    Hi lenders. I did talk to John and he informed me his business is slow at the moment. He hopes things will pick up soon and he will be catching up on his late repayments soon.
