About Me

I was born in a family of six and I’m the last born, I studied Computer Science /Information Technology . I do believe I’m a hardworking young man who is principled and always eager to succeed in my entire life and uplift my many young friends too. My nature of business revolves around computer services, repairs software's and phone application. I started business way back in 2009 at my first year in college and both having a computer desktop at home so i was growing inlove with more offenly computers.By then i was staying in Uthiru 87 and i heard to start a small cyber of about 5 computers and 1 of them acting as server but unfortunately things didnt work out well due to internet connectivity problems so i did close the small cyber and lend the computers to another friend of mine for him to add to his business.So i was back in school with no business and with no source of any income so Lifestyle had to force me from living in Uthiru to now Kahawa Wendani.So in Campus i had to hustle up my way and trying to make a dime as you all know campus life it never that easy when you have less income'I moved to Kahawa Wendani where now my 1 in 2 business is located a cyber and a movie shop.
This is where i do apply my techniques through repairing client machines'Installation of new Operating Systems,Antivirus and software so through this i have gathered n gained more knowledge and techniques during the freelance repairs and computer maintenance and from that moment I have developed great passion in this field of Information and Technology. Over the past years I have been able to diversify my areas of specialty within this field. In order to remain updated with the current trends and innovations within this field i want to extend my business by now providing the people from my area with wifi as most people from this area require internet on they daily basis as more of them are students who most are freelancer and due to the surroundings of Kenyatta University and Kahawa Ballacks so targeting this will make me a more of cyber cafe services and movies to a more of internet provider.
I will be glad if given the loan so that i may repair my photocopy machine and also laminator machines'Which will return money i buy a nano station to receive and sending more internet to clients in my targeted areas. I will use the money to buy Nano station n Radio to expand my business.The always 1 thought at every employee mind is to 1 day expand his own business and through this we all try to strive on our business'Having worked at a cyber cafe for almost 6 years i have always wanted to set up and extension of mixing both movies/Bookshops/computer accessories and cyber cafe services and photocoping machines as at they are popular in my area of Kahawa Wendani 'and been on this side of business i believe that through zidisha i may strike my strive of expanding my business though will the little i have been setting aside for the past years i still believe i make it through all means'

My Business

I work at cyber cafe and i am trained as a computer technician mostly i repair clients computers ,laptops and also installing applications for both the smart world phone's and though this in a mind of an enterprenuer there is an opportunity in nowdays growing market everybody needs atleast a faster internet'and a strong 1 that can reach to atleast a targeted area'and at area where my business is located at Kahawa Wendani Joshua Arcade building its a actually a very growing town as its a Student town centre where by everybody needs a wifi at they shops,house,business as because of the world is moving and growing into such a big rate and internet is becoming 1 of the greatest things that everybody needs.So by that there is an open market through there'and through zidisha assisting me in seting up on this i may go a notch higher as per targeted'
