About Me

My name is Rosemary Dindi. Am a single mum and my baby is now 4 years and 2 months. I moved to my home county Busia in Kenya away from the busy Nairobi town. I trained as an admin assistant and later trained in business administration but due to lack of white collar jobs in my country, I decided to change my professional and joined the market/social research industry. I went through an inhouse training with former steadman research company then worked with them for over three years. I later decided to focus full time on the online freelancing and work from home after being a mum

My Business

I have various skills that enable me to work online as a freelancer. Currently I work with various online websites that offer hourly jobs as audio/video transcription, article writing, word processing, focus group moderation. Am also available for any copy typing work. Each day I get a project to work on that pays per hour and am able to pay my bills with that.

Am able to work from home full time as well as take care of my baby without the office hours hustles. Am also in various facebook online freelancing groups that I get advice from experienced professionals in the same field and also get to know other jobs that are posted on facebook and not the other websites that I worked for.

I would like to request for my 4th loan to now be able to get a strong power inverter to fix on my solar battery which i got from my third loan. This will act as a back up during the frequent blackouts as the rainy season for planting is almost in my home county. This will help me deliver my online work on time and avoid losing my work in case of a power blackout.

Loan Proposal

When I get my loan request funding, i shall be able to upgrade my old version laptop thus will work faster and more efficient to my online clients and delivery my online work faster than before. Upgrading costs about 70 dollars including other laptop softwares eg reinstalling new windows and office and other necessary packages.
