About Me

My name is Stephen Mwarumba. Am twenty one years old. I come from a family which is poor and life has been hard for us. Am an educated youth. I went to primary education and secondary education right now am in collage doing part time course. I started this business so i can manage to pay for my collage fees. I do operate mobile video library on free time. The business is doing good since in the area it's only me doing that business. I got the idea at collage from other students. I have manage to pay for my school fees and also i have buy a full set computer. Am thinking of expanding my business even to rent my own business premises and employ someone to do the job when i will be in collage.

My Business

I do operate mobile video library on free time. The business is doing good since in the area it's only me doing that business. The young generation like to watch movie and series and even the older ones some of them do like watching movies especially soap opera. Am very social and easy to make friends so it's like an added advantage to my business. In a month i make about. Ksh 29500. I spend Ksh 11000 to buy movie and series (stock for my business) i spend about Ksh 6000 on transport and communication to track and keep in touch with my clients and suppliers. So in amonth i save about Ksh 12500.

Hello Zidisha and my lenders, How are you all doing? it's my hope that all of you are fine. I have been very sick for the past last month and i was not able to do my business as usual. I was admitted in hospital and an operation was done to me my stomach was always full, it was filled with air. So an operation was done to remove the air inside me. At the moment am not in the good state to start again my business because am superposed to rest for some months but i promise Zidisha to pay my loan.
