About Me

I am Edwin Kiptui, 25 years old, married with one child. I live in Nakuru and have a cybercafé in Nakuru town, just a few kilometres in the outskirts of the city of Nakuru.

I have not gone so far with my education because of a lot of financial issues in my family, so I decided to venture into business to be able to raise school fees for myself and to supplement my family income.

Since I had no one to help me, while waiting to be employed I decided to start a cybercafé business back in September 2011. I managed to secure a good location right in the Central Business District in Nakuru. I have been running it for the past 2 years now.

My Business

I own a cybercafé business along Kenyatta Avenue, opposite KCB bank in Nakuru, Kenya. It has eight computers, two printers, a photocopier and a scanner.

The services that I offer are all sorts of online services. My business is unique because I run it myself and I have the personal touch to all my customers. They will always find a warm smiling face and, if you have a unique problem, I will go to all lengths to tackle it and you will always get out of my business a happy customer. Due to that personal touch, my customers always came back and refer others to me.

I have one employee who is always there to assist me when the customers are many. My business faces challenges like change of technology -- that is, the phones people use nowadays have internet access -- but I thank God because they can’t know everything: they always come consulting, thus when you give them good services they will always came back.

My business gives me a monthly profit of twenty thousand shillings (about $200 USD) and above, but it still has many expenses that need to be paid. That is why would like support from you when I am a little stuck.

Thanks, Zidisha, for the good help you are doing to the young upcoming business men and women around the world. Thanks a lot.

    Dear lenders,

    With this loan i purchased; more stationery, accessories, and cartridges in order to serve customers effectively and efficiently.

    The success of the business depends on its solvency, and there is a need to keep the business solvent at all times in order to attend to emergencies quickly.

    As we are able to satisfy the needs of customers, they will patronage our services at all times; this will keep the sustainability of our income. Hope you fund my loan. Thanks.

    I want to take this opportunity to thank Zidisha community and My lenders for the support they have given me since my joining to Zidisha.
    The loans I have currently received have really benefited my business a great deal. This is by increasing my sales volume by having me increase my inventory to my clients requirements.
