About Me
My name is Antony Reuben Karanja Ngugi I was born in 1975 at munyeki village olkarou Nyandarua County. During my childhood I joined a nursery school and later munyeki primary school completing in 1989. In 1990 I joined Ndrurumo high school for my o levels and completed in 1993. After school I joined Nyahururu Computer College for a course in software development for two years. After working for various companies for many years I decided to quit and start self employment. I settled in rongai town and started a shop where I sell and supply computer accessories. I am married and blessed with two children of whom we love so much. It has been my biggest dream to join zidisha.
My Business
My business is located in highway plaza rongai town, specialized in the sale and supply of computer components and accessories. I started this business after I realized there was I great demand for the same in rongai town and the County as a whole. Initially people used to travel to city of Nairobi to collect the same components which would result in to incurring a lot of expenses prompting me to capitalize on the demand. In my shop which is mostly manned by my wife, I sell new and refurbished computers. Printers, ink cartridges, high speed data cables, cps etc. I also supply the same to schools and institutions as there may emerge orders. My business does well and it’s from its profits that I am able to pay for the house rent, salaries for my two workers and also meet for my upkeep and that of my immediate family. The proceeds have also helped me to purchase a plot and built my residential house. The challenges that I face is luck of enough capital to stock even latest software for more profits. This will be possible with zidisha platform.
