About Me
I am a young business entrepreneur with one brother and one sister.Our parents were disabled and we grew up with a lot of hardship.My father is crippled and cannot walk while my mother has only the use of one arm.We lived in the Mara where my father had been offered a job while he was young and moved us there,we lived there for the rest of our years and as my father helped in Sarova hotels kitchen my mother would wash tourists clothes for a living.My father earned 2$ per day ,working 3 days a week while my mother was paid 6$ per month.We attended primary school on and off but i thank God my parents did their best and we went to primary and completed secondary only after my mother passed away and my father remarried.My step mother was a kind woman and helped educate us.She also worked for the hotel but in the computer department and after secondary school she taught me computer and i earned some side money as i helped her in the computer department at the hotel.After our father passed away me and my sister moved back to our home village and we set up a computer bureau which has helped me earn and finish paying for my sisters fees.
My Business
I type research papers for students and professors at 0.03$ per page while doing photocopy and also photograph printing.I also fix laptops and desktop computers and usually make around 5$ to 8$ on a good day.I am married and have one child and hope to save all my earnings to not only help my child get an education but also to educate my sister so that she can have a better life.Our stepmother got remarried but supports us sometimes.
Loan Proposal
I will buy a Toshiba laptop costing 150$ and which would help me earn daily from various locations since i usually get calls from different people to have me do business at their location,especially lecturers and university students in their different halls.
