My name is David Ndungu and I run a small IT business in Mombasa. I was born in Kiambu county near Nairobi and later re-located to Mombasa, where I came for employment after clearing my college education. I later quit my job to start my current business. My main business involves the provision of IT services such as typesetting, Internet services, and basic computer training. I also do small printing jobs, lamination and binding services. I have been in this business for the last fifteen years. I run my business on rented premises in Mombasa town.
I am married with two school-going children, one aged 13 and the other aged 8. My wife is employed as a teacher. I also do part-time jobs as a graphic designer and videographer.
My source of revenue is mainly from the proceeds that I get from my business. I supplement it from my part-time jobs that I do over the weekends and during holidays. I provide IT services in a densely populated region of Mombasa where the demand for those services is very high.
I also have keen interest in videography and this gets me good income when hired to do video jobs like wedding, birthday parties, documentaries, etc. My wife, who is an employed teacher, supports me in my endeavors.
Through Zidisha loans, I was able to start up a cybercafe and the sale of computer hardware, and this has contributed a lot to the growth of my business. I also upgraded my computer training section by offering more courses.
I will buy printing paper and pay for printing charges. The whole project will cost double what I am asking for but I will be able to raise the balance from my resources. This will open way for other business opportunities since the schools have also shown interest in giving me more printing work after the current job is done.
I will be able to repay the loan comfortably since the payment is strictly within seven days after delivery. I have experience in such jobs and the only issue slowing me down is the financing bit which I hope to get through this platform.
