My name is Ben, I am the 4th born of our family of 8.I was born in the central part of Kenya and went to njambi-ini boys high school where I did my o-levels and managed to get a c plus grade.
I then joined the technical university of Kenya where I am doing a bachelor in business administration.
I was able to overcome my hardships by working as a messenger in offices and through business errands.
I am married and have a boy who's 4years old. I started a bakery business in the year 2016 which is doing good in Kikuyu town.
I love cooking, swimming and travelling.
I have a bakery business where I bake scorns, breads, cookies and cakes for my business.
I sell them to the locals and I gain my profits which I use to pay for my rents, pay for my bills, and also savings.
I offer my services to a lot of people more so the students who study at the local universities in my area.
I chose this business since I love it and it's my passion.
I will use the loan to buy a gas cooker stove for my bakery. It costs $70 at my area and since I only have one and I got a higher demand for breads and cakes, I want to add an extra one for this case.
I am expecting a 40% increase in my daily profits and I will use the profits to repay my zidisha loan in time, pay for my bills, save and also expand my bakery business.
I will help young and upcoming entrepreneurs understand the idea of being your own boss as well as investing early for their own benefits in the future
My community will benefit so much by getting fresh and ready made breads, cookies, cakes and buns from my bakery.
