About Me

I graduated with a diploma in Electronics in the year 2009. I worked with the Ministry of Youth Affairs between the year 2011 to 2014 as a Technical Instructor in the field of Electrical and Electronics. I joined the Kenya Methodist University in the year 2013 as a BSC in Computer Information System student. I graduated last year on July 2015. I currently work as software developer. I like programming, reading and watching documentary videos.

My Business

Am currently working as a developer at White Label Tracking company in Nairobi. It is a company that deal with tracking softwares and am in the department of developing the softwares. Besides the job, me and my wife we started an online business selling ladies and children turbans and headgears last month. We sell on Jumia online store and the business is doing well.

Project Proposal

Me and my wife we are planning to increase our stock for the Turbans and Headwraps for women and children below 3 years. We buy our stock from China through Alibaba and sell online through Jumia (jumia.co.ke). We will use around KES 50,000 for the stock, KES 10,000 for the shipping cost and the rest for boosting our products on Jumia. This will help us make about KES 30,000 profit. It will enable us to achieve another milestone of having a stable second source of income. Secondly, it will enable us build a great future for our children. Lastly, it will enable us become financially stable all through.
