About Me
I am a young entrepreneur as well as leader in my community. I have successfully completed my secondary and college education. I am currently serving on the National Youth Bunge Association which is a USAID project to empower local young people in Kenya to be entrepreneurs.
As a young leader in rural area I have started computer bureau services which entails offering computer services and also training to the local people and I started with one computer but now I have 5 but I intend to have 10 computers by the end of 2014 so that I can provide my services to more people. Local rural areas in Kenya lack computer facilities thus with the digital era the demand is high because everyone wants to learn computer hence am capitalizing on this and making my business viable and effective.
My Business
My computer bureau business was started in 2012 and is based in Kibichoi trading center.
I have employed one young person who is skilled & experienced to manage the business on daily basis but over the weekend I usually spend time at the business so that I can actively be involved in the business operation and management also to know my customers.
My business involves offering computer services and training to local people and of late the demand has gone up because the government policy to computerise all its operation thus to access most of government services you have to use computer.
I intend to expand my business by purchasing more computers, a good printer, a good scanner and also provide wide range of computer services thus through the support from Zidisha community then I will serve more people.
Loan Proposal
Buying a Multi-purpose Laminator and a Binding machines
My business at the moment is doing well. The multi-purpose laminator and binding machine are the next on the line to be bought. I have felt challenged for lacking this important tools.
In my trading center there are Colleges, secondary schools, primary schools, public and private institutes that do offer my business the typesetting and printing services. The fact remains that I do the job very well only to do the binding and laminating elsewhere thus acting as middle man.
I have budgeted for the multi-purpose laminator at 111 dollars, laminating pouch at 13 dollars and Binding machine at 45 dollars.
Once the funds are raised and machines are bought they will increase the revenue, expand my business and add nutritional value in my family.
