My name is George Elijah Mweni, a resident of mtwapa and a businessman here in mtwapa as well. Am a fathre of one boucing baby boy aged three years now. Am a secondary school lever having completed my secondary school level. I decided to turn into business mainly because i wanted to be free from the poverty status i was born into. I have a cyber cafe which has been helping me in so m,any ways financially. This business is doing very well here because most people like to communicate through the internet and even applying for a zidisha loan requires internet. With the income i get from this business i buy food for my family, pay my house rent, pay scchool for my baby class yoiung man and even helping my parents back in the village.
My business is a cyber cafe.This business is stuated at the heart of mtwapa and its doing very well. Mycustomers are very satisfied with my services becuase of my good customer language.I get my internet services from swift global internet services. they are good friendily and care for thier customers. With this business i face risks like, power intereption which really affects the business's daily income. With this business i get an income of ksh 25,000 per month after all my expenses. From this income i use ksh 2,500 paying my house rent, ksh 3,000 for my family food, ksh 1,000 paying for school fees and ksh 5,000 i send to my parents in the village.So i save ksh 13,500 per month, which is enough to repay my zidisha loan
Hello, my thanks goes to the entire zidisha team for the time and effort towards my loan application. Am happy because i have started climbing the ladder towards success in my business. I will first use the loan in making my business place attractive. I want to capture the attention of my customers by proving all what they require. With this i will have added more value to my business hence expect more income.
