About Me

I am the fourth born child in a family of seven children. I was born in nyando which is my home district my father worked as a clerk with smithkline & Beecham in Nairobi i thus went for my primary education in Nairobi and after sitting for my primary school i went to Onjiko high school and after high school i tried my hands in business selling house ware in Nairobi after which i moved to Kisumu and later on to Busia where i have been stationed for the last six years currently i operate a boda boda (motorcycle taxi) in Busia.

My Business

When i left Kano for Busia i was running a business that saw me provide horticultural products from Busia to kisumu as Busia town is located at the border of Kenya and Uganda and Uganda being an agricultural rich country i was able to save enough to enable me buy a motorcycle which aids me in transportation of the green products thus reducing my transportation costs and the cycle doubles up also as a boda boda thus enabling me to maintain it ( Servicing and fuel).I therefor let it out and use it only once a week when i am transporting my goods.

Loan Proposal

The major challenge that boda boda operators face in running this business is theft of the cycles and police crackdowns on un-road worthy motorcycles and a greater part of the worthiness regards insurance and helmet my cycle has only come helmet that came from the manufacturer i thus intend to buy a second helmet for the passenger that will cost KES 3500 and pay for insurance that will cost Kes 5000 and if succeed in this i will be gratefull to Zidisha.
