About Me

I have a great enthusiasm on business,
the challenges I have been going through gave me the ability to think on how i can support myself and also my society at large. I have worked in a number of organizations but my target as always been to start my own business.
i began small businesses like running a small cyber when i joined campus back in 2010 and it helped me a lot. also tried a number of activities like poultry farming, rearing sheep among other activities and finally this enabled me graduate in 2015, having successfully pursued a bachelors degree in mathematics and computer science.
My aim in life is to be successful and prove something to those people who know me and watch my steps; that everything is possible through handwork and determination to win.
I like listening to music and playing football
I am good in organizations of events, good leader and also in ICT related tasks such as web development, mobile app development among others.

My Business

I currently work as an ICT personnel, I also started farming this year. I also have a small poultry project which am working on expanding it. I also have a cyber cafe; photo on my profile. I liked this business venture due to a number of reasons; first is that it is within my field of study, secondly is that it earns me some money that it has enabled me provide food and accommodation to my two siblings in campus. Thirdly is that it does helps my community so much. There is currently great need for online service in my country like license acquisition and renewal, taxes pay, internet banking, e-learning as well as communication.
Currently I am providing a number of online services ranging from surfing, printing of cards, calendars, adverts as well printing documents for institutions. Thanks to Zidisha team.
The business is now paying pretty well. Now a new opportunity came in with quick succession, supply of stationary to nearby institutions. There are approximately 11 schools; 3 of them being secondary schools who need constant supply of stationery. I.e. exercise books, printing papers, office glue, pens, electronic calculators, files etc

Loan Proposal

The business I am currently working on is my cyber cafe; in my account profile. It has helped me a great deal in providing accommodation and food for my two siblings
in school. Though in the current state it is not fully equipped and this hinders the customer service delivery as well as the income. I am running the business with two desktop computers and a laptop, but intend to add four additional desktop computers to avoid queuing at peak hours. the colored printer (HP 2515) that i have been using also broke down and currently i don't have a colored printer.
so I kindly request for the above stated amount to buy the two categories of equipment. A full desktop computer cost approximately 100 dollars, while an epson printer ( Epson L382) cost 180 dollars.
with these two sets of equipment i would have fully utilize the existing resources to earn more at the end.
Thanks a lot for being there as lenders and looking forward for a positive response.
