About Me
My name is Ali Mbaji, born in Kilifi County in Coast region of Kenya. I was born in a family of 7 by my parents who are casual laborers. I grew up through hard life due to meager resources that my family had. Through relatives and well wishers, I managed to attend school where I reached secondary level. I will always be grateful to them for making such a big difference in my life.
After school, I moved to Mombasa town to live with a friend while looking for something to sustain me in the harsh urban life. I was employed as a casual in industrial area of Mombasa town. I worked in many industries while at the same time enrolled for a course in computer hardware maintenance.
I am married with one child.
My Business
My business deals with repair and maintenance of computer hardware. I specialized in computer printers and I started my own workshop where I do the repair work.
I normally support commercial companies, schools as well as home users. To supplement my income I also sell printer toner and ink cartridges.
The business generates about $350 a month and this is what supports my family and my other expenses. I recently started retailing printer cartridges and the results are very encouraging. However, due to a wide variety of the printers in the market (different printers use different cartridges) I need to have a big stock of the same.
Loan Proposal
My business of recycling printer toner cartridges is doing well in spite of a few challenges. I mainly deal with educational institutions since most have embraced ICT.
With this money, I will buy black and color toner for refilling cartridges and also buy empty cartridges for refilling. My clients prefer recycled cartridges since they are more affordable and last longer. Thank you.
