Am married with three children namely Sharon Joan and Ignatius.My parents are Mr and Mrs Wilson wandaka.They hail from Nyeri county in Kenya.I was schooling. in Kahiraini primary school from 9183 to1990.I joined Warazo jet secondary school from i991 to 1994.In1995 i joined st Marys teachers training college in Bura Taita.I have taught various school from 1999 to 2011.In 2012 1 decided to start my own school.the school is called Sharon secondary school named after my daughter.I started the school with capital of ksh4000 which i had saved.I used the money to rent a room where the first student were learning.I started the school in order to to help students from poor families unable to pay the high fees in government schools.I do purchase text books,desks and chairs and stationary for the students.Am hoping the school will grow in future to a big institution.

My Business

My business name is Sharon secondary school.It is in naivasha town.I started it in January 2012.I got my students through advertising (By putting posters on posts)It has 25 students.My income comes school fees that the parents pay for their students.The school is doing well despite the challenges that i do face.Some parents straggle to pay school fees for their children but others pay well.I wont loose hope since since there are big and well established businesses which encounter the same challenges.Am hoping for positive response from you.

    i intend to pay the loan fast but when i paid the first instalment i have seen it has affected my credit limit.This was not what i intended and i was informed that they do not permit large instalment.This has made me reschedule my loan again an till the credit limit raise again.I intend to start paying with smaller installments until the loan finish

    i can now be able to pay more since my business has posted more profit.I got 30 more students from a school that went under.Because of that,the fees they paid enabled me to save more and i have enough to pay the whole loan.However, i will pay it by installments since it is not permitted to pay in one installment.Thank you for all those who have lead me money

    business has been law.There are flower farms in my area that have closed down due to bankruptcy and a number of parents have lost their jobs.They have not been able to pay promptly leading my school to have cash flow problems.Some students in my school come from very poor families and paying fees sometimes is a problems.The parents that have lost jobs are looking for employment in other flower farms and am confident they will get.When they start to pay i will be able to pay timely
