About Me

I am a male Kenyan aged 38yrs from humble family background, I struggled going to school, but with God’s grace managed to complete high school. I went to various colleges through sponsorship graduated in Diploma in Computer Graphics Design, I am also trained in Life Skills, HIV/ AIDS counseling, testing & management.
I have worked in various organizations and group in different capacities mostly as a volunteer, thereby gained a lot of experience.
Am married to one lovely wife and have been blessed with two children both in Primary School. Currently, I reside at Uhanya beach and operate a Cyber Café, also offering computer service.

My Business

I started my computer business in 2008, with a small capital from my savings I just had one computer, I learned to be patient and the business has grown to a small cyber cafe’. Though am grateful for my progress so far, my vision is for the business to grow to a computer college, and I believe with your financial support I can achieve my goal.
The major challenge in this area is unreliable electricity, we often experience power outages thus disappointing clients, I will buy a power generator which will help in continuation of the business even when there is no electricity. However I have a long term plans of installing solar system.
Due globalization many people use internet service for communication and social networking hence the high demand for reliable and sustainable internet services.
I earn an average sale of $343 I pay bills worth $177 this leaves me with a gross profit of $166. I then take 25% for emergency and expanding the business. The balance $124.5 is my average Net profit.
I use this profit to take care of my family, paying my children’s school fees and providing basic necessities. With proper funding I would expand the business, meet my customers demand, by increasing computer illiteracy level in training many people. Hence increasing the number who will join Zidisha as well.

Loan Proposal

Internet has become the major means of communications globally hence the need for better and reliable service of the same. I want to improve service delivery by purchasing and upgrading my computers and software. With these peripherals I will be able to meet my customers demand by offering an efficient, fast and reliable internet service.
I will use this loan purposely for upgrading my business. With better service I will attract many customers thus increasing my income. This will enable me to improve my savings and service the loan with ease.
