My name is Charles Abere Manyange. I am 24 years of age. My childhood education was one filled with challenges but I thank God I finally managed to overcome them all with the help of my parents. Another thing that kept posing a challenge to me was my high school education but, all in all, through hard work I finally completed. I joined a computer college and later I was able to start working in that college.

I like our culture for it is enriched with ancient practices such as traditional dances. I like watching movies.

In my business, I deal with selling goods such as books and examinations for primary and secondary schools in my locality. I chose this business because I like it and it is paying well for me. For example, I can earn as much as $100 per month when schools are in session. I look forward to expanding my business to the neighboring districts. I will be able to do this by increasing the rate of production of these exams and supplying them to different schools.

I will use this loan to build a business house which I will use to offer services to my customers. I will build a permanent house which will last long, secure my goods and large enough to accommodate all my services. I will subdivide my loan into 3 parts.

I will use the first part of my loan to buy building materials $60. This materials are sand $10 bricks, iron sheets $15, cement $8, timber $12, sand $20 and nails $5.

The second part of the loan I will use to pay for labour and food $60. I will use $10 to buy food then use the remaining amount to pay workers starting from the masons to other workers.

The remaining amount I will use it to add stock to my business $50.

I think this move will help me reduce the expenditure that I have been spending on paying rent then my goods will be more secure.

I am privileged to be a member of zidisha.
