About Me

i am a mother of two living in manguo location, nyahururu district Which is a slam within Nyahururu town where I have a rented house . i did my ksce education in 2006 and joined a computer class in 2008, since then I dint manage to join another course because I came from a poor background and they could not manage paying my school fees and feed my young brothers. That is when I decided to acquire a job for my upkeep. With much regard to my computer tutor who tought me tirelessly and willingly he introduces me to my first employer Anne wambugu who employed me as cyber assistant. Due it was a new business the pay was still small . here I worked till 2011 when my boss Madam Anne vacated to Nyeri town and we had to close over the business. I hereby Thank Madam Anne because she gave me some 2 computers which have build my life to date though they are out dated. In 2011 with the two computers in August I started a college still here within Nyahururu but I could not manage because the same month thats when I got my second born chil, where my business lacked support and management I can remember the town councils harassed me to the fullest because I has not paid the business permit I latter closed down the business and I got employed in another cyber café within the same town here I was stable and I at least maintained some customers where when I vacated to my new place they joined me and made my business grow... ..For 6 years being employed and having a good flow wherever I go that’s when i decided i can have my own business and serve my customers. it wasn’t easy to start because of lack of capital but lastly I started something however small it is. This business has maintained me to now and I am happy for the lord. All what I need is to expand it so that I can improve my living and give better education to my kids.

My Business

Internet, unlike a typical cafe, will provide a unique forum for communication and entertainment through the medium of the Internet. Internet is the answer to an increasing demand of our todays living which in now a necessity to everybody it being a farmer, a business person, or anybody else who is living. The public wants access to the methods of communication and volumes of information now available on the Internet, and access at a cost they can afford and in such a way that they aren't socially, economically, or politically isolated. Internet's goal is to provide the community with a social, educational, entertaining, atmosphere for worldwide communication.

I work with ict and an instructor and also i offer services. Since I lest school i gained in interest in ict and I did that course which am so much interested even for expanding mu business to a bigger company. I offer services like printing, income tax application, KRA pin certificates, motor vehicle insurance forms which are found in the internet. In printing i make posters, wedding cards, eulogy, invitation cards , certificates, receipts etc. I also offer computer classes. The risk of this is the electricity shortage, there is always electricity interruption within the country which also contributes to destroying computers and printers. I make a minimum of ksh 500 per day an a maximum of 700 per day where if i can improve my business i will earn more and get more profit. With this I would like to expand and buy other like 9 computers, photocopier, fax, CP infuture to make it more demanding and a solution to all computer problems. Also I would like to have a computer shop where you can get all the computer accessories
The objectives of my business is The creation of a unique, upscale, innovative environment that will differentiate internet from local coffee house, Educating the community on what the Internet has to offer, formation of an environment that will bring people with diverse interests and backgrounds together in a common forum, Affordable access to the resources of the Internet and other online services.
As the popularity of the Internet continues to grow at an exponential rate, easy and affordable access is quickly becoming a necessity of life. Internet provides communities with the ability to access the Internet and share Internet experiences in a comfortable environment. People of all ages and backgrounds will come to enjoy the unique, upscale, educational, and innovative environment that internet provides.
The risks are which I encounter are like Will there be a demand for the services I offer ? ,Will the popularity of the Internet continue to grow? , Will individuals be willing to pay for the service I offers?
Also there is an issue of electricity shortage in our county hence on and off of electricity which fails many of us in business with this regard I future I would like to have a generator or a solar to make my business more stable. I love the business

    Hallo lenders, i know i have wronged and i hope not to repeat this again. i have tried to rescedule mu loan but i found that the interest is increasing and so i stopped. i can see my account have problems and hope to rectify everything on it. i have been hospitalized for a long time but now i am ok and hope to repay my loan. i closed down my business because i could no longer handle it a i had been instructed for a bed rest and i took my working operators at home. they are here with me, and now am looking for an office to start operating. i am sure with time i will start making payments by the end of this month i hope to make some repayment. Thanks for your patience and you are a wonderful group to work with. i hope you all understand this and forgive me. God bless you

    Bayle (or someone else),

    Please look into this loan. Just as with Irene Nasimiyu's loan, Purity's attempted reschedule has zeroed out her amount due and she has not made a single payment (due to circumstances beyond her control).

    I'm sorry to say, but this is getting to be ridiculous. I don't understand how this keeps on happening.

    Thanks,
    Cris

      Hi Cris,

      Thanks so much for alerting us to this. I have added it to our list of profiles that need repairing.

      Best,

        Bayle,

        Could you get someone to check up on this loan? She has not made a single repayment, there is no VM listed on her account, and she has not responded to any messages left for her.

        One more thing, all the 'Report this profile to Zidisha' links on all accounts do not work.

        Thanks,
        Cris

    hallo lenders, my business have been having challanges as i have not been there because my mother is sick and she cant be admited alone. so i am forced to accompany her in hospital hence my business is left alone. so far she is recovering because she went under surgery. i hope to cooporate as i rejoin my business and as we make zidisha grow and expand in big areas. with this amount i understand its not that much and i will be able to at least repay this before i will be be back to the normal payment.\
    Thankyou
    Purity

      Hi Purity --
      Sorry to hear you have been sick ... hope you're feeling better now.
      Yes, it's time to begin paying on your loan, as you are late for the rescheduled date. Maybe Zidisha will reschedule it for you again. They will do anything for their borrowers.
      Good luck.
