About Me
My name goes by Japheth Namibia of age 22 born in Kenya Eldoret town currently a self employed with an aim of growing my cyber cafe business and a certificate of diploma in computer science. Upon completion, i undertook post attachment with Nairobi city Council where i gained valuable hands on experience in my area of expertise. I am currently engaged in software maintenance and surport majoring in cooperate and organizations
My Business
I am involved in selling computer peripherals and a cyber cafe business which feeds me and pay my bills. Lately i have ventured into supply of branded and new computers to my clients since i saw the need for a reliable dealer due to upsurging demand based on the digitization of our institutions here in kenya. However, due to my financial constraints, i haven't been able to meet the demand and hence saw the need to reach out to a credit facility. Zidisha proved to be a flexible institution to me.
I am hoping to one day be part of this remarkable institution that is elevating livelihoods, something that our local banks shy away from by imposing exorbitant interest rates.
A look at your services gives me hope that there exists an institutions tailor made for young people like me with an ambition, vision and commitment but lacking in resources to implement the same. In the view of the same i am looking forward to being one of your borrowers in your institution with a view of building an excellent borrower relationship with you while establishing my business to elevate my livelihood and that of my family and community at large.
Loan Proposal
With the loan from zidisha I will be able to purchase an extra hard disk to add to the three that I already have. This will bring the sharing down to two customers per hard disk as opposed to the current situation where one hard disk is shared among three customers.
With the loan I will be able to; reduce the number of customers sharing hard disk, increase the number of hard disk to six within the next four months, increase the number of customers to 15 within the next six months.
With the current leaving standards in Eldoret continuing to escalate, it will take me longer to achieve this goals if I take this journey alone. With the friendly loan from zidisha, I will not only be able to achieve my goals within a short time, but also be able to comfortably meet my responsibilities as an entrepreneur, and a student
