About Me

MY NAME IS KENNETH OSIMBO BUYEKA. i am from a family of eight ; i.e three brothers and five sisters. i live in Kenya at Nakuru adjacent to Bahati-Karunga. i started my primary education at st. lwanga primary school and later joined Kiamaina Secondary school for my secondary level. i later joined Weaver College Thika where i enrolled a Certificate in Computer Application Packages. after completing my college in certificate, i got employed at St. Lwanga primary school for a period of one year. i saved a small amount of money and and asked my parents to help with an idea; after deliberations, i started a small computer service business where i owned one computer and a printer i addition of a laminator. i did all this to help my family and support the living of my parents who are growing old. the small interest i get from my business i use it to support my brothers who are in college and also to cater for my living go ahead.

My Business

my daily income from my business do vary in that i can earn differently according to how many customers do present their work. i do deal with computer services such as computer typesetting, lamination, binding, printing, instant passports and cyber cafe. my customers prefer my business because the services i do offer to them is efficient and affordable compared to other competitors. this has enabled me to keep up my business. The higher risks that i do face in my business is when there are new machines in the market and am not able to go for them, also when the season changes, the job gets down thus making me to have some difficulties due to low profits generation, but this usually happens for only a short time and not always. another risk is the problems of power surges which do destroy my machines time to time thus making me to drain all what i had saved to purchase new machines to cater for my customers and business progression. but i have now invented a way out in solving the issue of power surges. I have managed to buy UPS to curb up the problem of power surges.

Loan Proposal

i will use my loan in purchasing of photocopy papers, lamination papers and some ink for my printer. this is because the busiest part of my business is photocopying and lamination since the changing world everybody wants to be neat. am happy to you Zidisha and i know God will help you to do more to brighten the future of many especially the small entrepreneurship.

    Zidisha has impacted my life and community a greater height, the first loan Zidisha gave me i manged to buy small stock which adjusted it to another step. the second loan a bought a modern desk top and, the third loan i managed to buy a good copier which has improved my business. the profit i have attained from what zidisha has done in my business has made my life better and better. i have also managed to improve the community through hiring some youths especially when i have more job to do on contacts. I have also been able to invite new members to join zidisha and they have also improved the living standards of their families at large. i like my business because it makes me alot of profit especially the photocopy and lamination section. the profit is good and very happy to see that since am able to cater for my bills and expenses.

    my business in future;
    What am thinking about my business is that in the coming one year as per profit generation i will be shifting to a bigger room, since i will be having many job equipment as per strategic plan.
    Thank you so much Lenders.

    the business is a little bit down but i hope for the best. this is due to high taxes offered by the government in our area of specialization. thank you lenders.
