About Me
I am a male Kenyan aged 38yrs from humble family background, I struggled going to school, but with God’s grace managed to complete high school. I went to various colleges through sponsorship graduated in Diploma in Computer Graphics Design, I am also trained in Life Skills, HIV/ AIDS counseling, testing & management.
I have worked in various organizations and group in different capacities mostly as a volunteer, thereby gained a lot of experience.
Am married to one lovely wife and have been blessed with two children both in Primary School. Currently, I reside at Uhanya beach and operate a Cyber Café, also offering computer service.
My Business
I started my computer business in 2008, with a small capital from my savings I just had one computer, I learned to be patient and the business has grown to a small cyber cafe’. Though am grateful for my progress so far, my vision is for the business to grow to a computer college, and I believe with your financial support I can achieve my goal.
The major challenge in this area is unreliable electricity, we often experience power outages thus disappointing clients, I will buy a power generator which will help in continuation of the business even when there is no electricity. However I have a long term plans of installing solar system.
Due globalization many people use internet service for communication and social networking hence the high demand for reliable and sustainable internet services.
I earn an average sale of $343 I pay bills worth $177 this leaves me with a gross profit of $166. I then take 25% for emergency and expanding the business. The balance $124.5 is my average Net profit.
I use this profit to take care of my family, paying my children’s school fees and providing basic necessities. With proper funding I would expand the business, meet my customers demand, by increasing computer illiteracy level in training many people. Hence increasing the number who will join Zidisha as well.
Loan Proposal
Thank you for this great idea, i will use the loan to purchase a generator that will help me serve my customers even when there is power black out as often in this area. I look forward to serving my clients efficiently especially during this festive season.
my target is students who are now in holiday and would like to engage their fellow friends, relatives and families through internet service. Am also targeting visitors who will come around this beach as they will find a friendly reliable place to interact with their friends wherever in the world.
Thank you in advance as am looking forward to receiving my first loan from Zidisha.
