I am Howard from Nairobi. I went to Highrise primary school when I was young and living with my grandmother. I never joined college as a result of financial constrains, this made me turn to street life so as to make a living and ends meat.
At the streets, i used to work as a tout and in the process learnt some skills on how to driver, i was employed and work as a town service driver in Nairobi. This made me earn a living and sustained my living in town. In the process, i saw the demand for order in our stage and i decided to open up a sacco called Mwiki sacco where i control the transportation of people as well as the vehicles around.
I own a booking office for matatus in our route that operates to organize and to enable people reduce congestion on the stage,basically the services that i offer is ensuring that their is order and organization as people boarder matatu to their homes and area of need.
These services are useful because it save a lot of time and also ensure that clients operating along our routes are serviced well on the basis of first come first served.
I chose these kind ob business after realizing the need for order in our area of working.
I thank you guys so much for the for the first loan granted that helped me purchase a motorbike that is now operating in town ferrying people from place to place. I use my profits to take care of my businesses as well as invest into new ideas
With this new loan, i will use the money to buy a new helmet for my motorbike costing 20 us dollars, I will add 6 more us dollars to the amount granted and purchase the helmet.
I will benefit from the same because my employee will be safe from harm in case of a fatal accidents and also the extra helmet will be used by the customers
