My name is Edwin, I am a 3rd born in a family of 5, raised in a financially humble family. My schooling was met with alot of challenges. This is because my parents where unable to pay for my fee, they struggled to educate my other siblings but in vain. Having seen those challenges, I decided to find an alternative for our family problems. I looked for an employment in the nearby place where I was looking after the cattle for my neighbor. I worked there for 5 years where I used to save my monthly wages.
I used my income saved for 5 years to start a small electronic shop, I started selling radio, DVD players and compact disc. Later I offered phone charging since the place was not well networked with electricity. The income I received, I pay for my business rent and the rest I reinvest to business. I have so far added stock to my business and it is really working. I receive approximately $50 a month as a profit. I am now able to support my family and sustain myself.
Thank you lenders and Zidisha for the first loan. I just finished paying my loan and I would like to take another one. For this second loan, I will buy more mobile accessories because currently they are on demand. My shop is the only in the vicinity that sell these products, so the business will be at boom.
