About Me

I am a gentleman born and raised in Central parts of Kenya, Nyeri to be precise.
After my high school I moved to Nairobi for my further education and later began working.
I ventured in tourism and majored in Travel Management and now I have earned the skills required of being a professional travel consultant.

Am working to becoming an entrepreneur in Cosmetics Products in Nairobi Kenya and later to Kenya as a whole. Mine is selling products from the fast selling brands in Kenya.

I have however decided to further my studies in Tourism and I know I will get the help I require financially from Zidisha. I have not left my business idea coz am sure when I further my education I will be able to raise more for my business from my salary and also from the help of Zidisha

I believe that in whatever small ways I may contribute to changing the society I am assisting in making the world and in this case more Kenya my motherland a better place to live for me my fellow Kenyans and visitors from other nations.

Being responsible, trustworthy, hardworking, disciplined & focused are some of the values I believe in.

Thanks.

My Business

Rainbow Cosmetics Kenya is the name of my business with its operations in Nairobi. I have been operating the business majorly online through my Facebook Page (Rainbow Cosmetics Kenya) *RCK
I have already registered the company and still working towards having a physical shop.
What does RCK do? I sell cosmetics products from the renowned brands in Kenya and those venturing in the Kenyan market and also having a dream that one day I will also become a manufacturer of some cosmetic products.
I have been in the business for now 1 year but I can say I am yet to exploit the market which is a vast one in Kenya but this has been because I still work so that am able to pay some of the other bills that I the business cannot meet. I however, through the business manage to take care of my families bills that is why I have not given up on it.
I would like that when I start a physical location I will be able to at least change someones life by giving them employment and with this I will have touched someones life directly or indirectly.
I know through Zidisha I will be able to make my dream come true through your funding that I will be receiving.

Thanks.

Loan Proposal

I would like to apply this loan to further my education in Tourism. I am a travel consultant by profession and I would like to add my knowledge to enable me become more competitive in the travel industry.
With the loan I will apply for short courses with IATA (Understanding the Travel customer & Assisting Travelers with Special Needs) at $300 which I believe will enahance my skills and make travelling enjoyable to many.
This may lead to a rise in salary which together with your loans I will be able to boost my cosmetics business which currently is not doing so well due to lack of sufficient capital.
Thanks.

    This is to say thank you so much for the loan, I received an amount of KES 18,734 this will go a long way in my school fees. I will be enrolling for an IATA certificate course (Understanding the travel customer & Assisting passengers with special needs) in the course of this week and will give updates in my journey.

    Thank you so much.

    With the loan i received i purchased more stock for the cosmetics, it went a long way because when people asked for the products they were available.
    I have managed to make a profit of around $40 per week from about $10 or lower previously. I have managed to also learn air ticketing and working hence the loan plus by salary will go a long way to enabling me become self employed and create employment to other people.
    I managed to take a short holiday to the Mara which was life changing.
