About Me

My name is Bernard Omondi Onyango. I have 4 brothers and 1 sister. The lady is currently sitting her high school final exam. My family and I live in Embakasi, Nairobi.

I went to Kagwa Primary School in Rarieda District. I passed and joined Makasembo High School. Consequently, I joined Intraglobal Training Institute in Nairobi. After college, I worked in as a volunteer teacher. I then started writing on a freelance basis when I could not secure a job. I bought my first laptop using my first loan from Zidisha. After article writing for some time, I took another loan and used it to buy 6 more computers for writers. I then trained and employed more writers. This worked well initially but when I discovered I could not retain writers for long due to competition even after training them, I used the computers to open a cybercafe. I want to invest more in the same business.

I also support different members of my community from my pocket. We also learn God's word every week in my house to inspire our members to look forward to a better future and work hard. In addition, I send them inspirational messages via my phone on a daily basis. People need hope to be able to transform into productive people in the spiritual and physical world.

My Business

My main business currently is offering cybercafe services. I started with the loan I took from Zidisha last year. Initially, I was writing articles online. I then accidentally learned that I can make more money in this new business. I have 6 Computers today and want to buy 10 more computers.

I will use the profits to grow the business, take care of my children's education, and support various community programs geared towards supporting the needy. I will be able to support and employ some of them.

Loan Proposal

As an Online freelancer, I rely on my laptop to make money. The laptop currently has a mechanical problem. It boots after an extraordinary long period. When it does, it is impossible to navigate the cursor on the desktop to access various icons. The machine also do not recognize Operating Systems (OS). I need money to repair the laptop to continue offering services to my clients and make ends meet.

I am appealing to you friends to contribute towards this proposal so that I get a loan to repair this laptop. I will be thankful and repay as stated in this agreement. Thank you.
