My names are Tiberious gitene a last born in a family of eight in Kenya on march 25th 1994.My father an elementary school teacher in a country where teachers are hardly well remunerated found it quit challenging raising such a big family in a third world country and a county with limited resources.I grew up to share the limited resources with my sisters and brothers plus my orphaned and extremely poor cousins back here in my village.My parents brought me up as a hardworking person forced to rise up early to attend farm work on school holidays .I grew up a self motivated person and joined a local primary school later joining high school. I passed and secured a course in computer science at Jomo Kenyatta University of agriculture and technology here in Kenya where i currently undertaking my third year studies.So far it has been challenging raising my tuition fees and other studying expenses my father having retired and surviving on his retirement benefits.Thanks to a few initiatives i had early undertaken.
Having grown up in a family that depended on subsistence farming for survival.Immediately after finishing high school i fully dedicated myself to farmimg and with the little piece of land my father has he had offered me a half acre of land where i planted bananas and kales commonly known as "sukuma wiki" a swahili word to mean help push the week.The farm can raise me an average figure of kshs5000 equivalent to $50 monthly.This little farm helped me open a small movie and sofware distribution stall first of its kind in a shopping center"Nyakoe" in my village an idea i got once i joined college.This stall has improved my earnings by 50% and with little support from my parents who still have a couple of responsibilities i have been able to pursue my dream in the world of computer science.Having grown up in a poverty stricken background i have a dream of helping counter the situation.I believe that even the poorest of them can still be helped and given the power to also help others.I plan to come up with programs and projects that will help sensitize, educate and employ people in the world of information technology within my hometown and my country as a whole.
I am planning to purchase a playstation 3 that will cost an average figure of 200 dollars.I have a friend in my local town who has been running playstation gaming. He managed to upgrade by purchasing playstation 4 and he has accepted to sell to me one of his old playstation 3 for which i thought it was prudent to acquire it for the start. I have a 20 inch screen that i have been using in my office and i have opted to use it with the playstation i plan to purchase.I have decided to convert my little office in my cyber into a gaming room whereby i expect to raise an average of 5 dollars a day from gaming having been requested by my cyber clients interested in playstation gaming.From this earning i expect to fully repay you based on a weekly basis and incase thing dont go as planned i will use the earnings from my cyber cafe to meet the weekly repayment deadline.I look forward to your support lenders and i will make sure i repay the loan as required.
