About Me

My name is Benjamin Mburu. I am a Kenyan citizen by birth. I reside in Githurai Fountain next to Fountain Junior Academy. I completed my high school education in 2005 and later did a diploma in Information Technology at Kenya Polytechnic College. I have a family and blessed with one kid; Caleb and another coming soon. I do not have a permanent job so I depend on various business activities so that I can earn a living and sustain my family since my wife also does not have a formal job. I the year 2008 I started a cyber café business. It is located in a small town called Githurai Progressive. Through this business I have been able to cater for most of my family need. I have been struggling to expand my business that’s why I hereby apply to zidisha to grant me a loan so as I can move to the next level.

My Business

This loan will go entirely on purchase of extra stationary for sale during the return to school period of May 2014. I also intend buy memory sticks,flash disks and add books, pens, pencils and other learning materials are highly needed by students living in Githurai area.This will help minimize the costs the parents incur when they go for them 12km away as they do now. I will use the loan you lend me to build shelves within my cyber where i will stock various materials used when learning.This is something that some of my customers have asked me to stock and i have already put up an advertising poster to proclaim that the materials will be there. I therefore kindly request for this loan in order to expand my business where i leave my wife to run as i go for job in the public transport where i would like to venture in the future. When we both get to work I think it will be easier to get to another level where we are economically sustainable and ultimately become lenders to Zidisha. That’s my dream. I urge the Zidisha community to contribute to my loan so that I can start my project ASAP. Thank you.

this loan will go entirely on purchase of stationary for sale during the return to school period of early 2014. books, pens, pencils and other learning materials are highly needed by students living in Githurai area.This will help minimize the costs the parents incur when they go for them 12km away as they do now. I will use the loan you lend me to build shelves within my cyber where i will stock various materials used when learning.This is something that some of my customers have asked me to stock and i have already put up an advertising poster to proclaim that the materials will be there after new year celebrations. I therefore kindly request for this loan in order to expand my business not to over rely on cyber business as this might be affected by power failure as it did last November. Thank you in advance and God bless you all.I take this opportunity to wish you a merry christmas to you all.
