I do teacher at least 6- 8 learners every day from Monday to Friday, from this business of computer awareness, I got an ideal of teaching people how make clothes, i started this business of teaching people how to make clothes last year 2016 when i bought 6 sewing machines that are used by 8 learners daily. if get zidisha funds I plan to expand these two businesses for there many who need these skills in their day to day life style.
Loan Proposal
Am proud of being associated with Zidisha since 2012 when I applied for my first loan. For the three loans that I got from zidisha have made me start projects that do benefit the community around where I stay. Am proud of the projects that I have developed using the Zidisha funds.
The second loan I started a computer awareness classes that have made many people know how to use a computer. Since I started this project in 2013, at least 100 people have known how to use the computer yearly. I have bought 8 computers for this project.
The third loan I used it to start a tailoring and dress making in 2016. I have 6 sewing machines in this project that I use to train those who have finished primary education and did not manage to proceed with their higher education, Up to today I have 8 learners who attend class daily and am preparing them for a Trade test grade 3 at the end of this year by December.
I look forward to expand this project when i get zidisha funds by buying more (2) computers and (4) sewing machines.
For this loan I want to buy the following:
a) 2 computers @ Ksh 15,000/= --- Ksh. 30,000/=
b) 4 sewing machines @ Ksh. 8,000/= -- Ksh. 32,000/=
Total -- Ksh. 62,000/=
buying this equipment will create more room for more people to train in these skills
