About Me
I am the second last born son in a family of six (five girls and one boy), and being the only male child in this family has its own fair share of challenges more so in regard to expectations. I completed my high school studies some seven years back and was unable to proceed to college as I would have loved to, as my father (a retired agricultural extension officer) . I then moved to Nairobi in search of employment with the sole aim of saving enough to start my college diploma with these savings I Was sure to get my fathers financial support that would enable me complete my college diploma.
My Business
six months after moving from Busia to Nairobi I was able to get employed at an insurance firm for eight months then at the end of the contract at the insurance firm I got employed at the airport and with the savings from these two jobs I was able to save enough money to get admission in the Kenya schools of wildlife studies where I study wildlife management (diploma) and sure enough I have been able to get my father to support me financially in this,i also used to work at a restaurant over the weekend to further support myself.My Zidisha first and second loan also helped me to clear the fees and financial support during my internship at the National Museum of Kenya.
Loan Proposal
At the wildlife clubs of kenya where i am taking my diploma in tourism, we do pay a total fee of kes 48,000 per semester of which kes 8,000 goes towards meeting hostel fees,thus when given the loan i intend to use it to cover the hostel costs and use my weekend pay to repay the loan comfortably.
