I am Mr. Samwel Nyangi. I am a building technician by profession and my main professional duties include supervision of buildings on construction sites.

I hail from Rongo Village, Homa Bay County in Nyanza region of Kenya. The main economic activity in Rongo is fishing at Lake Victoria. Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world, hence a main tourist attraction in Kenya. Other tourist attraction sites in my area include Ruma National Park bordering Lake Victoria. The Luo community is well known for a rich cultural heritage not limited to traditional songs, dances, dressing,rituals, etc. Nyanza region hence poses as a strong attraction destination for tourists.

I identified a gap in the building and construction sector especially in the supply of building materials and inputs. Hence, I got into the business of making and supplying man made bricks which are more cost effective and affordable compared to other bricks naturally mined and supplied by big firms. My business targets middle and low income earners who can hardly afford to buy bricks from big firms. My business offers customized solutions to the customers.

My business has a cash flow of $1500 per month with the major revenue coming from sales of man made bricks and supply of labour. I plan to repay the loan using proceeds from my business.

I would wish to lease anew yard for storages of my manufacturer products.

This will help me save on rental fees monthly.

Again it will boost the income compared to when am in a rental yard.
