About Me

My name is Hillary Aura born in Bungoma County in Western Province Kenya. I went to school at Lupida primary school. I faced challenges like witchcraft and black magic but God is good, all is in the past, I later transferred to town school (Mumias Complex Prim nary school where completed my primary education. I joined Sagero SDA secondary school in Uasin Gishu County and completed my O' level. After O' level I joined Masinde Muriro University College and pursued ICT and Networking and general computer science. I then joined Kisumu Polytechnic and did craftsman in Mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics Diploma. I later met a pastor in Kisumu who challenged me to start a business and she entrusted me with electronics. She offered me a space where i could repair clients gadgets like laptops, printers and phones. we then advanced to video recording studio.After a while I moved to Kisii to visit a friend. It is here that I realized that this town had an opportunity for me. I looked for a small space because of little capital. I started as a computer service where I could register as little as 43/- per day. To date my income has increased and I wish to expand even further. The money I'll receive from zidisha lenders will enable do the expansion.

My Business

Contently I sell movies as well as repairing of computers, laptops and general electronics. These services are in demand because computers break down every other day, laptop problems and power surge which occur over and over. Therefore, the demand for these services is very high and that is what motivates me the most. More people are acquiring these gadgets every day but the technical support is not there for most people and these is where I see the opportunity to utilize. In my my shop shop i Have one employee who assist me in doing the job and that is where I have a monthly expense. The other expense is the Rent which I pay monthly to the landlord. I use my profits to pay for my accommodation in Kisii town because this is not my home town, I also use it for increasing my stock to avoid delaying customers and the remaining amount as a saving.

Loan Proposal

The number of clients are increasing for my services, i currently own One DVD Duplicator and being that the number of customers has gone up, I wish to add another duplicator to enable me serve them quickly and better. A second hand duplicator goes at 250 dollars equivalent to Ksh.25500. After acquiring this loan of Kshs 18113 from my lenders, i'll be able to add the difference of ksh. 7387 and purchase the Duplicator. I appreciate the good work done by zidisha group. Thanks to you all.
