I grew up just like any other child. i started school in 2001, from home to school was a long distance and I had to trek from home to school and vice versa. However, I never gave up my primary education, which i successfully completed. After my primary education i went to secondary school at District level where i passed through hardships like lack of school fees and i kept depending on bursary funds which sometimes was hard to get due to corruption and political differences and also ethnic differences. this made me depend on casual labour to cater for my school fees and my up keeps.
After high school i started casual work to raise funds that enabled me to join polytechnic where i took a course in electrical installation technology. While at the polytechnic i started taking contract jobs and internship which equiped me with knowledge and work experience. By then i could get cash that helped me to pay my school fees as well as my daily spend.from then on i started saving money in small amounts that enabled me to start my electrical shop where i started offerring services to customers .i chose electrical services because electricity arrived recently and more people are now getting connected.To be able to meet the demand of the people in my area i sought to access a loan that will enable me to serve more customers. During my free times i like watching football games and also reading novels.
am a business person and i deals with electrical equipment's and installation services. In our locality electricity just arrived recently and more people are now getting connected with power daily. In our area there is scarcity of electrical equipment and thus we depend on our neighboring towns to get access to this services.This made me to realize the importance of setting an electrical shop. To open my shop i raised money from contract jobs that I was offered. Through my commitments i saved. I also got some funds from my mother who works at a village hotel to raise fees for my younger brothers and sisters.
Am not yet married but from my little earning I help mother to raise fees for younger siblings and I also do farming that helps me to reinvest.
I will use the loan to buy two sockets outlet,four switch boxes,one packet of cable clips and tack nails so that i serve the demand of my customers
there is a high demand for this items and therefore i need to buy item in abundance to suit the demand and need for my customers since electricity just arrived recently.
my biggest challenge is that customers need electrical equipment in large amount which am un able to provide due to lack of enough money to buy those electric equipment
