About Me
I am Betty, and most of my childhood has been in Nakuru. I went to school in Nakuru, both primary and secondary and even college. After school is when I started my cyber business.
My life has been a nice one, and I have always overcome hardship through positive thinking, reading the religious books, and reading motivational materials. That is what motivates me and helps me to focus on the important goals in life.
I started the business through savings from my previous employments and, being that they were cyber-related, it gave me the idea of having a business of my own. With Zidisha, I know the sky is the limit.
I stay in Nakuru, which is a cosmopolitan town and, as such, there are various cultures that meet. Here, people are attached to land and share in cultures, as there is diversity propagated in this area.
I would like my children to be doctors or be in medical careers, as this will help in the saving of lives, and they will also earn well, as being a doctor in Kenya is a highly-rated profession.
In my free time, I do a lot of reading and swimming and those two help me relax well.
My Business
I operate a cyber cafe and also do photocopy. This is a business that is profitable, as there are colleges in town and, as such, students do photocopy at my shop and also browse their assignments. The place is busy, hence profitable to me.
I chose this kind of business because I did my IT course when in college and, having worked in a cyber before, it was training on the job for me, and the saving that I did has given me a business now.
I usually make between $120 to $150. This helps me to pay for my bills and take my kid to school. The living standard in Nakuru is high, and as such the profits from this business help me to meet my commitments. The rest I invest in the different items that I require in the cyber.
Loan Proposal
If given the loan, i would like to go back to school and finish on my managerial course which i left due to financial constraints.
in my time of running my own cafe, i have realized that for one to succeed in business you require managerial skills. My business relies on a day to day savings hence requires a keen eye on planning, organizing, coordinating and good communication with customers in order for me to realize my goals and still maintain the business successfully.
$ 200 will be used to pay for my school fees while the remaining amount will be used to facilitate for the time i would go back to school i.e transport cost.
My diploma will help me acquire the skills i require for my business.
