About Me

I come from a humble family, am the 2nd born of 5. When I was young, I was hearing life, I never knew what it was untill I finished my Secondary School, where everything you have to depend on yourself, that's when I flew from our village to Luanda Town at least to start doing something productive. I remember I borrowed my fare to Luanda and I was to refund it back after three days. I knew know one in Luanda town but life had to go on, my 1st day in Luanda I slept at the bus park and the following day, I approach a certain man who had a shop just along the road. I told him my story and he agreed to give me some items so that I can hawk get some money so that I don't sleep again In coldness, that day I managed to get sell goods worth 700 Ksh and in return the shopkeeper gave me 200 for survival and I really appreciated so much since it was going to be my breakthrough. My job as a hawker went for something like 3 months and because my boss had so much trust he eployed me to work in his shop. After working there for one year my breakthrough came at one night. We were sitting in his house when he suddenly told me that in the next one month he was to go to America and he was going to leave me in his business premises running a cyber and shop. I was much surprised and the only thing I asked him was that how much was I to pay him. And by softness he answered me that everything was mine because since he started doing business he has never come across a trustworthy person like me.
Since he left am doing great and am improving each and everyday and my wish is that let my kids undergo the dificulties I went through. Am a Christian and when not in my shop or church, I lke reading novels, travelling and always wanting to no more how people prosper I. Their lifes. Thank you Zidisha and continue helping those who cant and are able when given the resources.

My Business

I opperate in a 10 by 20 house and it is devided into 2, the first room is a retail shop and am dealing in goods such as sugar, rice, soaps, detergent, matchboxs etc. These are basic human needs goods and people always use them in their daily to daily lives and that is y I opted to maintain it the way it was. In a day I can sell at least 3000 Ksh and out of that am able to save 300 Ksh a day which I sometimes re-investment in my business and others
I finance my little brothers.
On the other side my photocopy machine is also bringing some good money and in a day I scan get a profit of 170 and above. And my big plan is to expand form just photocopy but to a serious cybercafe though you I can. Thank you as I look forwad to your reply.

Loan Proposal

If I receive that amount, I will buy a tonar for my copier machine. If I have tonar, I will be able to get work from my neighbouring schools and that will get me good profit for expanssion. I know my profit will increase by 30% because my main problem is tonar as far as my business is concerned.
I hope you will put me into considerations.
Thank you.
