Loan to launch my training platform for online jobs

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is Alex murithi. I am a young Kenyan graduate from Chuka University class of 2015 November. I come from a humble family of 3 siblings .Thanks for taking your time to read through my Zidisha profile, apart from studies I have always had a passion for business.
I have always been passionate in changing and expanding the mindset of young people towards entrepreneurship. The types of business I do include freelance writing and forex trading.
I have been in these businesses since I joined college and they have helped me to cater for my expenses as well as pay school fees for my younger sibling.
Having gained some good wealth of experience, I do train, mentor, employ young people interested to join these type of business and any other online jobs I have knowledge about. The reason I have ventured in business is due to the high rate of unemployment in Kenya. I therefore decided to take lead in investing time in learning skills in these online jobs that can make me self-independent . Some of my hobbies include reading, networking, swimming, travelling and writing articles. I am sure we can tackle the unemployment rate in our country by teaching young people to work online and I wish to train as many as possible youths to earn some income from these exciting online ventures.

My Business

My two major sources of income come from my Forex trading business and freelance writing. I also run some transport/logistics business aside. I trade stocks and indices as well as offer my writing skills to companies and individuals in need of content. Apart from doing these I also train, mentor and employ young people ready to learn the above named skills. I am currently running these Trainings and mentorship programs under my platform known as Brains With Concepts. My main aim is to encourage youths to solve unemployment through entrepreneurship through learning skills such as content curation and trading currencies and stocks.
I have been doing the training part time, but now I want to do regular training and recruit more youths into entrepreneurship. These services are on high demand because of the high unemployment rate among graduates in Kenya. Costs incurred during my training sessions include hiring a standard conference room, hiring presentation gadgets and payment of some trainers I invite during my meetings. These may total up to 700$ for a session that may take 1 week. I charge 100$-200$ for these workshops inclusive of a mentorship package we offer to the trainees where we guide them untill they are able to make consistent income using the skills learnt. I use the profits in paying office bills, enrolling for other courses to sharpen my skills and re investing in other offline ventures.

Loan Proposal

Using the amount of money I will get, I will use 200$ for marketing purposes. I will make sure adverts are running on regular basis in order to enroll more trainees to our sessions. I will also use 200$ to make some customization in my office to allow more space where some trainees and those who join our physical mentor ship forums will be using. I will use 300 in buying presentation and training materials such as whiteboard, projector, mark pens and a screen. 200$ will be used to hire some assistant trainers that will be helping me in conducting the training as well as offering mentorship after the training is done. Please help me raise this and with me I create an army of entrepreneurs who will be of great benefit to the society. Help me kick out this menace called Youth Unemployment In Kenya.
