My Business
Am a bodaboda businessman, here in mtwapa and also in the neighboring towns. My main role in this business is to buy motorcycles and then hire to riders and in this exercise i provide employment the youth. As this town is developing is also the business opportunity as well. With this high population this business does very well.This business does good and i make an income of ksh 21,000 per month. I use part of this for my family use adding to my normal daily wages. Risks in this business is theft at night and also when it rains the roads become flooded and repair costs of motorcycles go up.With this business income i use ksh 2,000 paying my house rent ksh 5,000 paying school fees this is because my children are in a private school as private school provide the best education standard.i also spare ksh 5,000. so this means i save ksh 9,000. With this amount a can repay my zidisha loan. My objective is to create a job atmosphere for the youth which has been a big challenge as the lack of employment in Kenya. With this i want to add more motorcycles and i want zidisha to help me
