About Me

I was born in a remote village in late 80's,my mum died when I was 5years old.Since my father was just a casual woker I attended a village public school.My schooling was very challenging since i was regularly sent home to collect school fees which was a problem to get.sometimes I could leave school for a while and work for people to raise fees.My father was a regular drunkard so he did not care,the death of my mum affected him alot.

I managed to complete my primary education through hard work and perseverance.
since there were no hopes to join secondary school due to lack of fees,I decided to go and look for a job in Eldoret so that I could raise my fee.That was back in 2003.

Life became difficult in Eldoret and Idecided to relocate to Nakuru town.Since I was a young boy at the age of 16 nobody could agree to offer me a nice job.The only I could get is look after the cattle or be a gardener.

I became tired and went back home where I got a well wisher who took me to secondary school.Through the help of the CDF funds in my constituency,I managed to complete my secondary education and attained a university entry grade but I could not proceed due to lack of funds.

Since I was now an adult I went to look for a job in order to raise money for my university education,I started staying with my elder brother who was already married with kids.Life became difficult and again I decided to relocate but this time I went to Molo to stay with my cousin.

After a month another cousin found a job for me in Kiambu where I worked as an untrained accounting clerk and also conducted some Maths coaching and Kiswahili to upper class pupils.

I worked there for one year untill the 2008 post election violence which prompted me to go back home.

While at home my former secondary school deputy head teacher offered me a job at my former school as an untrained teacher where I taught relious studies and kiswahili from form one to form four.I was doing all this in the name of looking for university funds.

A month later a relative called me and told me to go for a police recruitment and I did so and succeeded.I ended up being a police officer,a proffesion I never thought of.My teachers knew I would be a teacher like them or a journalist.

Peserverance has been and will always remain my key to success.I've had tough encounters in my childhood life which makes me a strong man.

Am now doing what I can in my capacity to make sure my siblings,my child and other close relatives go to better schools without problems like the ones I had.Ihave also to take good care of my wife whom Ihave struggled to educate up to university level.

Now I have to struggle and make sure I raise money to further my studies by all means because I want to achieve my dream of being a teacher.

I would like my children to live a better life than the one I lived at the past and pesent.I want them to become great people in the world.I want them to be doctors,teachers,proffesors,great businespersons and all the nice people on earth.

I love football and I feel good when associated with its funs.I support AFC Leopards in Kenya,Arsenal footbal club in England,New York Red Bulls in the US,Barcelona in Spain,Bayern in Germany and Juventus in Italy.

My Business

I buy motorbikes and employ men to work and look for money to help me and my family.I chose this kind of business because it is the only one among few others I can supervise nicely.I also chose to engage in such business because my salary alone cannot do evrything for me.

My typical costs are paying employees,servicing and fueling of motorbikes.my typical source of revenue is the profits ploughed back from the motorbike business afterall the costs have been met.

I use the pfrofits to take good care of my many dependants and home improvements.

Loan Proposal

the loan will help me buy the following items:
1.eight iron sheets at a cost of 45 dollars-for building a parking for motorbikes
2.4kg nails at a cost of 9 dollars
3.eight poles at a cost of 19 dollars
4.two bags of cement at a cost of 16 dollars
5.labour expences-12 dollars

this will help me to park my motorbikes safely within the homestead and away from fire or any ther source of heat that can damage the motorbikes and shall also help others who does not have the same.

this will also reduce the costs associated with repair and maintainance as a result of damage that occurs due to exposure to excessive heat and fire as opposed to storing them in the house where there is risk of fire or outside where there exposure to excessive sunlight and rain.
