About Me

My names are Timothy Ronny Jirongo, i was born int he year 1993 to a hardworking mother who was a farmer and my dad was an engineer who died back when i was in high school. Life changed then after his death and my mother had to struggle to make sure that I completed high school. Life was not easy and so many times I was sent away from school for lack of school fees forcing me to go and help mum work at the farm. As you know farming you can only depend on harvest to go and sell at the market which was not enough to support me and my siblings. But I thank God I was able to finish high school and even scored better results than pupils who come from rich families.

My Business

I managed to join the University whereby I am on my second year of study in Business Administration and Information Technology. I do take advantage and use my skills as a writer also to write essays online and get paid little sum of money. I also do typing work for my fellow students who are lazy in typing project they write and I do typesetting for them leading me to earn something more again. But because I do not own a Laptop, I have to go to a cyber cafe to do all these jobs that costs me a lot and I end up getting very little profit. That's why when I was introduced to Zidisha for a minute I knew that my prayers have been answered hence if I can get support from Zidisha lenders then I will be able to buy a Laptop worth between $400 to $500 dollars. There is a shop that helps students who are less privileged like me to pay some deposit cash with their firm to own a new laptop and then pay up some more again after 2 months until one clears the payment. And that is what am hoping to go when I get help from your Institution.

Loan Proposal

I would buy a Laptop with the loan to help me with research and project work in the College. It will also help me raise money to repay the loan by writingessays and proposals for others. It will be cheaper for me to use my own laptop instead of going to the cyber which charges per minute and that's very expensive. With my laptop I would be able to get online for free using wi-fi in the college. This would help me acquire more skills and do more and more research easily unlike when I have limited time in the cyber. Thank you.
