About Me

My names are Jackson Moyi Tabwa. I am 29 years old from Kakamega County. I went to Lufumbo Primary then to Shitari Secondary School. This is how I got my primary and secondary level education certificates. Besides instabilities, I decided to work hard in my life to achieve my goals. In 2009, I joined my friend, who informally trained me [in] some mechanics. I trained for 2 years, then after I engaged in selling spare parts and repairing motorbikes.

My Business

After my 2 years of training in motorbike repair, I started my own garage with the little savings from my previous earnings while I was training and from my parents' contribution. I depend on my business for all sources of supply of my needs. From it I am able to support my parents and other relatives who stay around me. I have also employed some people in my shop and workshop to make my work easy and efficient. I have been attending workshops and trainings sponsored by different groups to be enlightened with changes on the new technologies. [With this] Zidisha loan I wish to use the funds to increase my spare parts stock, which will increase my profit margin. My vision is to create employment opportunities and training for the youth.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan as follows:
$100 for tyres
$50 for engine oil
$50 for rubber tubes
$40 for engine valves
$10 for miscellaneous and transport

Thereafter I will use the profit generated to increase my stock and pay other bills like rent and electricity.
