About Me
I attended High School in Kisumu. I completed three years of bachelors degree in Kenyatta University studying Education French and Literature. I further did a diploma in computer studies from KTTC. I Have since been working in the ICT industry in software and services roles.
I encountered quite a bit of hardship while studying since I was orpahened and raising fees was a big challenge. I however overcame and completed the coursess.
I registered a computer services company to deal in software services. The business has not picked up yet so I'm currently doing online freelancing in areas of transcription, and article writing.
My country kenya is unique in terms of natural and human resources. My children hope to complete their education and go into industry employment or join family business.
My unique hobby is internet and movies. I also love music

Loan Proposal
I will use the loan to purchase internet bundles to enable me complete transcription and editing jobs online on www.gotranscript.com.
I will be able to purchase 1GB of internet connectivity from safaricom. This will allow me to work for a week and potentially make $100.
The money I will make will help me to pay school fees for my siblings and also cater for personal expenses, food, rent.
Since this is a freelancing opportunity, I expect to make profit of $95 within a week.
