About Me
My name is James Mbugua born in Nakuru County in an area called Gilgil. I come from a family of farmers where my parents’ main occupation was small scale farming. I am the third born out of 8 siblings.
I grew up in a typical rural area where there were very few amenities and my normal day was just going to school and helping my parents with their farming activities.
I did not proceed with education after my secondary school due to lack of finances. I did some menial jobs in coffee plantations for a few years and then decided to relocate to Mombasa to look for greener pastures.
With help of my church, I started taking photos in church and I would get paid for it. I expanded this business and opened a photo shop in town where I could now serve more clients. I later started shooting video to further expand my business.
I am married with two children aged 14 and 13 years and the latter is about to join secondary school.
My Business
I have done this business for the last 15 years and I have created a good network of customers. I specialize in covering church and social events such as weddings and birthdays. I do both still pictures and video coverage,
I get a flow of clients throughout the year but the business normally picks during festive seasons. I make an average profit of about $300 per month which is what supports my family.
Loan Proposal
My son recently completed his primary school education and he made good grades to enable him join a secondary school. His tuition fees and other expenses amount to about $350. This is beyond my reach for now and I have tried to raise this money from family and friends but I have not achieved much.
If given this loan, I will use the money to add up to what I have saved, collected from friends and relatives and this will be enough to take my son to school. I hope you understand my situation and please hear my plea.
