I am a first born in a family of seven children born in rift valley where we lived in a family owned 1 acre piece of land. i was brought in a church environment where we were taught values that have helped me live in harmony with other people. I went to primary school in Laikipia at Kite primary school where i completed my primary school level education and joined Kianyaga high school. After high school i joined college where I did an IT related course and due to lack of employment in rift valley I moved to Nairobi the capital city in search of employment. Life in Nairobi becomes a challenge due to lack of employment and I embarked on self employment where I opened a small kiosk to sell groceries.
I have sold grocery for 2yrs now but i can see no major change in my life style. Lately i have been thinking of shifting to photography and video shooting but the cost is too high since I will require 939.456 dollars to begin the business. to begin with I have 352.296 dollars in my savings and from my local bank I can borrow a loan of 293.580 dollars so I have a 300 dollars deficit which is the only block from achieving my goal.
If I can get some of this money from Zidisha lenders I can still source for more from friends and family so that I can purchase the equipment.
when i get this loan i will be able to move from selling grocery which has been my form of employment to photography and video shooting which is the booming business in town. to do this i will require 939.456 dollars to begin the business. on my side i have 352.296 dollars in my savings and from my local bank I can borrow a loan of 293.580 dollars so I have a 300 dollars deficit which is the only block from achieving my goal.If I can get some of this money from Zidisha lenders I can still source for more from willing friends my handwork in sales of grocery will surely motivate friends to fund my new venture. thank you zidisha for being my friend number one.
