About Me
I am 24 years old and engaged. I hold a degree in HR and currently I work at a local company in Nairobi as a transcriber and a virtual assistant. I'm independent and my salary is not able to sustain me and spare enough to start a business, which has always been my dream.
I live in Ruaraka, where there are so many people my age who are going through the same situation as I am, because they are mainly campus students and fresh graduates. I would like to start a business, which will be able to offer small-time jobs for these people.
I like to write. I believe I have a distinct way of looking at life, which I usually express in my writings.
My Business
I would like to start an outsourcing company for internet jobs. This job will include transcription, which is translating oral data to word format or OCR, which stands for Optical Character Recognition. It is the electronic translation of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. Floor plans where one is required to sketch out rooms for offices and houses. These jobs are outsourced to us from other countries. They are time-flexible and don't require a lot of skills. Training takes a short time, which is either in word format or podcast.
Loan Proposal
I plan to add on to the amount that I have so that I can get a new computer to be able to start online freelancing. At first I will target people with personal computers before I get enough funds to set up a place for people who don't have computers.
