I am a male aged 32 currently living in Nairobi. I'm happily married with one beautiful daughter. I deal with data entry, and Educational material development. I require a HP pavilion Laptop and laser printer and a projector to enhance my training work shops and document handling. I work as an instructional coach and trainer. Most of the work deals with training people on behalf of contracted organisations. To enhance such work it requires a projector since it sometimes involves TRAINING large groups of people in one sitting. A laptop is vital for word processing database management and reporting. It's also necessary that alaptop be used due to its portability. While in the field it requires collection of photography. Pictures are vital during presentation and reporting. It's necessary that a camera be used in data collection including still or motion pictures. During such organised trainings The trainings are funded upon submission of budgets to the groups funded groups or corporates. My aim is to promote ease of knowledge aquisition and dissemination. I have have worked in areas of people of low income families where they have the desire to uplift their living standards through social empowerment. Thanks to Zidisha for offering an opportunity for individuals and society to enhance their skills, empower the society and support the economically towards realizing their goals in life. If granted this opportunity I commit myself to engaging with you and everyone on benefits of Zidisha. My productivity shall be improved and be able to transform the society at my level and scope.

I will also pass on the awareness campaign about Zidisha to youths keep at empowering themselves economically. I'm glad to have known about Zidisha only disappointed that I didn't know about Zidisha much earlier. Thanks to all my funders I appreciate every effort made towards funding my project and assure you that I have the desire, the ability and Will to realize that which I've focused my mind on. More people earn their living in service industries by educational institutions or consultantancy. In Kenya, Online business is becoming increasingly common every day. As a result of very high interest rates charged by banks however, many people shy away from accessing funding for their ideas. Many youthful population haven't benefited much from government run financial institutions. Much of the work force who are unemployed or underemployed are the majority of the population comprising of over 40% of the Kenyan population. Most of the unemployed find themselves in engaging in various forms of social upheavals. This includes Drug and Substance abuse, crime. unethical social behaviour like commercial sex workers. Many idle youthful population leads to upsurge of Crime rates within the major cities, up country but the situation worsens within the Informal settlements.

Lastly, The loan amount needed shall be a reason to re-energise my business and help me stay focused on my vision.
The Loan shall offer a great relieve on the Very high cost of electricity a typical case in Kenya. Very high Monthly powers bills does not give an opportunity for business growth and diversification. This money that services power bills shall be very instrumental in Savings as well as offering an opportunity for newstock. Also My business is located in a place where power outages is a common phenomenon. My bussiness which heavily relies on use of machines always suffers when there is no power. Power is very unstable leading to power surges this has on several occasions destroyed my monitor and CPU which had no surge protectors by then. With this stable, clean and low cost SOLAR POWERED BUSINESS I shall always have power to run my business whether day or night giving me a competitive advantage. Thanks to you friends for this great opportunity to make us realize our dreams. Kind regards.
