About Me
I have grown and schooled in rural Kenya (Eastern Region). I have worked Hard in school till my university. I saved from menial jobs until I had enough money to star my first M-pesa agency. my hobby is visiting children homes and keeping company with the children there. I also love doing football and swimming especially in those sunny days. These days I also find joy running my various businesses which I have started courtesy of Zidisha loans.
My Business
I am an online freelancer mostly doing academic research and supplements it with a M-pesa business. i feel it is socially revolutionizing because it touches on many people lives. my typical costs are internet installation and maintenance of computers. outlay cost is also incurred in purchase of M-pesa infrastructure every time i am expanding. Revenue is inform of commission and fees charged for freelancing. my proceeds are used to pay school fee for my sister (she is an orphan) and re-invest in the business. With the help of Zidisha I have started other businesses such as Sewing business, and fast food cafe near the University. I am now running these businesses and slowly building my own small business empire in my own small way.
Loan Proposal
install wireless internet for $120. It will allow me reduce the cost of internet and be able to share the internet with my employees. after this installation I expect my profits to increase by 10% . The wireless internet itself is a business because i can share with other small internet users such as those using smart phones at some fee
