I am 31 years old married. I recently gave birth to my second born a girl.I was born brought up by a single parent.I went to the nearby public school.My mother being single had meager resources.I had school fees issues all the time.I was therefore on and off school.This school fees challenges spilt over to secondary school. I completed my secondary school with a b plus in Kenya Certificate of secondary education.I was good enough to join university but because my mother could not afford so i was the end of my formal education.After some years i started doing casual jobs and saving some money.luckily i got married to a understanding husband who helped me with some capital and added with my savings and started a business.In this place people like eating meat.My child wants to be a teacher after completing his studies.i like watching movies when i have some time to spare.
I have a cyber cafe where i do browsing,printing,scanning,and also photocopying.This business is helpful to me because it always gives me something in return.The community members and students around are able to access quality internet very fast.I choose this kind of business due to many students and university in this place.I make KES 1400 profit everyday. I pay my worker KES 500/- and I remain with KES 900/= which i use to pay my sons school fees,my basic needs in my house and i save part of it for my business improvement.
I am planning to buy a new model HP Officejet Pro printer at a cost of $110.Its a high speed printer and can produce more printing work within a few minutes.This will avoid the kind of jam i have of clients waiting on for the old model printer to finish a job.The printer model i have breaks often and is always creating a vacuum for my business.Its also taking up more money in repairs and maintenance.
