My name is Anthony. I live in Mtwapa Kenya. I have a passion for maintaining swimming pools. I come from a family of 4 kids and being the first born of the family, I have always had to find ways to earn some income to support my siblings.
My passion for pool maintaining started after high school when I joined my friend in a hotel who works as a pool attendant. After the training I started walking door to door in hotels, apartments and private houses to ask for tenders. Managed to save some money to buy equipments and chemicals .
My business offers the following services, cleaning swimming pools, cleaning tiles and selling chemicals for those who clean for themselves. In Mtwapa the competition is not high on this business. This is a great opportunity for my business to meet the demand and grow. I offer good prices for cleaning pools to my customer and I mostly prefer to be hired than to be employed because when I am hired to clean a pool in a day I make 50 dollars, and when I use my chemicals I make 80 dollars per day.
However, my major challenge is equipment. The equipments are expensive. It will also help me venture into the corporate world which requires proper get tenders from them.
With the loan I get from Zidisha, I plan to buy proper equipments and chemicals. I will highly appreciate the loan to be able to meet my clients expectations .
I once again take this opportunity to thank the zidisha team for considering my proposal and giving me a chance to move my business forward through their funding.I am glad that the first loan gave me god return.For the second loan I will use 35 dollars to register my company since I have not be able to get contracts from big hotels and institutions since my business is not registered.so if I register my business I will be able to get contracts and tenders.Then I will use 60 dollars to buy more cleaning detergents and chemicals for cleaning tiles and swimming pool.
