Hello Walter,
Have you heard from Julius Owiti, a borrower you invited? He has not made any payments for some time.

I wish to begin by registering my apology for the delayed repayment which prompted you to contact my referees, I am again sorry that this had to happen. In fact,as soon as i received the loan from my lender and I wasn't able to instantly appreciate the same, i something i am not happy about. The reason why this happened is sad one although i didn't come back and and do something about in my account, I lost my keen as soon as i received the loan and i was so much overpowered by the sorrows of loosing a loved one. This made me not to achieve my goal of adding some few staff to my business. Despite all this i've returned to my premises and hopes to pick from where I stopped and proceed with the good spirit i had right from the on set. This why I wish to reduce my repayment so as i can manage repayment given that my time is also lapsing. Thank you for your continued reminder and the good intentions you have for growing entrepreneurs. God bless.

You're welcome Walter!

I am very grateful for Zidisha members especially those who put a hand in supporting me through this micro-finance, I thank God for giving me business partners far away from home but too close to me through technology. My Sincere thanks goes to Marcel (Germany), Serene (Philadelphia, united States) and Ellwood (Wimborne-United Kingdom). Through the loan I received from you, I have been able to purchase a router which will supplement the wireless modem once I get connected to a telephone line to supply me with better network, and later put up the other necessary gadgets required for me to use at least 6 computers in my cyber cafe. I will be faithful with your money to ensure that I utilize my potential in business. I promise, I will not disappoint you but instead progress so as others will also know that Zidisha is there for everyone. Thank you and God bless.

Thank you shalabh for your concern and good advice. To start with, I want to be grateful for the Zidisha team and business advice given here especially from you. Now, to your concern Shalabh, I already have five computers to start up the cyber business, so for computers I think i've enough. Secondly, about the cost of a router; you are completely right that it costs less than 50 USD, unfortunately I generalized all expenses for the business under one name "router" here is the break down of the expenses of the items according to Orange Kenya ltd:
Livebox =3,990.00(46 USD).
Recharge card=3,000(35.5 USD).
Deposit=2,300(26 USD).
Total =9,290.00(107 USD).
Other Charges
Cable 20mtr x 30= 600 (6.9 USD)
Protection Line = 1200(14 USD)
Line jack=250(3USD)
Phone=1500(17.2 USD).
All this amount in Total will be approximately 12,840/=(148 USD).
Hope Hope you question is answered.
Thank you So Much again

  Thanks for replying Walter,
  
  Glad to see your business prosper.
  
  I am actually from India. We had the same situation about 10 years ago. Internet Cafes were very popular back then. But with Smartphones and lower price of Computers, students can now buy their own.
  
  Our startup is developing a low cost computer (less than 100 USD). And we are eagerly looking to partner with internet cafes worldwide. The PC will have very low power consumption (about 1 / 10 of current PCs) and will be Virus-Free.
  
  I would love to know more about your requirements and challenges and how can I make the best device for you. Do contact me on stdps1080[at]gmail.com if you are interested.
  
  Wishing you best brother,
  Shalabh

Hi Walter,

It is great to see your dedication towards your work.

I was wondering about the router which you intend to purchase. As far as I know, most routers (home and small office) cost less than 50 USD and work well. Have a look at Amazon.com and check the prices of routers. Are you looking to set up a WiFi ?

For 150 USD, you can easily buy a computer. Investing so much amount in router doesn't make much sense from a business perspective, atleast according to me.

Just looking to help you buy the best equipment from your money.

If you have any doubts, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,
Shalabh
