About Me

I was born of a civil servant father and a stay home mum deep in the village of mwimuto on the outskirts of Nairobi city.I started my formal education like any kid of the village at a village known as Ngorika deep in the Nyandarua hills facing the aberdare ranges.
My secondary school was Pumwani Boys H Schl,thereafter went to an electricity utility company and worked for seven years.I quit to start my hustling and with time I was able to get a loan to purchase a truck to supply building materials.The business has considerably grown over time and now I have three trucks.
I live in Mombasa which has a rich cultural diversity and the Indian Ocean,Fort Jesus are quite unique historical features.My children want to have their own destiny when they are of age.I play squash during my spare time.

My Business

Am in the transport business supplying construction materials to various clientele.
This include aggregates,river sand,building blocks and many others.These goods are in high demand due to the robust construction going on all over.
I chose this line of business due to the high demand for transportation and supply of the materials.My greatest costs are in the operations and maintenance of the trucks,wages and taxes.My revenue is relatively fair and the busier I am the better.
My profits are greatly utilised to educate my children and support my elderly mother.some of it also to support the less fortunate in society where i am educating two children who's mother is unable to educate them.

Loan Proposal

Moses Baraka is a second born in a family of four children,one girl and three boys.
Their mother passed on some seven years ago and they remained with their father who is trying to manage their daily requirements and pay for their schooling.
He is now 17 years old and he will be seating for his form four (O)levels exam at the end of the year at his school in a Kenyan village called Molo.
He is looking forward to doing well and God willing make it to university where he intends to pursue an engineering degree and graduate after five years.He intends to assist his father in bringing up his siblings and better their future.
My intention is to assist in paying his fees for the remainder of the year till he does his exams without much hustle.
This will go a long way to cater for his future.
