About Me
My name is Elkana Kibet Kitur. I come from Kericho county in formerly Rift Valley region of Kenya. We are small scale tea growers but due to land fragmentation, the activity is currently unprofitable. I attended local primary in my area and later and later secondary school through bursary sponsorship because my single parent could not raise secondary school school fees. I managed to score high grades that took me to the university through government sponsorship and student loan program and trained as a teacher. After graduation in 2013, getting a job as a teacher became difficult and when I got one the pay was low. I have always wanted to do online jobs as a freelancer in my pastime to get extra income. I have been trained as a freelancer and I would like to fully venture into the business on a full-time basis.
My Business
The business I do is online freelancing services where I work as an article writer. I write articles for different clients who pay for the services at a good pay because they are on high demand. I chose this business because developing creative content has been my strong areas as well as having good pay. Also, its a form of self employment. The costs incurred in this business are internet connectivity and a computer. The profit that I would realize would go into reinvestment and get more clients. Also, as a young person, I would like to improve my house by getting some furniture and electronics.
Loan Proposal
I will use the loan to purchase internet package from telecommunication providers so as to work comfortably at home as an online freelancer instead of using a cyber. the cost of the internet package that can last for 30 days is $15. This will give me more online hours per day resulting in more wok doe and more clients hence more income. I expect the profits increase to more than $150 a month.
