I was born in a family of five children compromising of four boys and one girl.I am a fourth born.I went to my primary education but when itinto secondary education my father passed away .since he was the bread winner I was forced to drop from school due to lack of school fees.
This became a challenge to me since no one of my family could raise my school fees.i was forced to to look for casual labour here and there.The little I got I paid my school fees until I completed my secondary education.
since I couldn't raise university fees I opted to continue with casual labour savings a little .
With time I had saved enough to purchase a motorbike taxi to operate in the village where modern form of the transport is not available.
my little boy wish to be a journalist particularly a news reporter .reading novels and making new friends makes my past time
I have now ventured into transport business where by am operating an online taxi service as a taxidriver.
But am short of finance to smoothly run this business efficiently,thats why am coming to zidisha to beg for a loan .With the loan I will inject into this business to acquire all the documents needed by authority by doing this I will be able to carry out the business without fear of arrest or intimidation by authority...To secure my business I intend to use the remainder to install a security camera and an alarm device in the vehicle.Not forgetting to insure the vehicle against accident and theft.
When granted this loan.I will buy bags of maize then mill it to produce flour.After this I will repackage the flour in affordable packs for low income customers......
The idea is fueled by the current scarcity of the cereals.And Ugali being a staple food in many homes in Kenya .I expect a good customer off take and hence make profit from the sale.
