Hello Zidisha community,

My name is Joe Munyiri from Nakuru City, Kenya. I am a dedicated entrepreneur managing two ongoing ventures — a poultry farming project and a busy Internet cyber café that serves students, job seekers, and small business owners in our area.

I sincerely thank the Zidisha lenders for your previous support in funding both projects. Your assistance has helped me expand my businesses, reach more clients, and create job opportunities within my community.

My poultry business continues to operate successfully, providing steady income and supporting local households. I am now seeking a new loan of KSh 50,000 to KSh 60,000 to upgrade my cyber café so that it can serve more people efficiently.

The funds will be used to:

Purchase three additional computers (increasing from 5 to 8),

Acquire a modern Epson printer to handle larger printing demands, and

Install updated software and programs for better performance and reliability.

This upgrade will improve service speed and customer satisfaction while creating a new job for an additional cyber assistant. I also plan to start computer literacy classes for youth and minors, helping them gain valuable digital skills. In addition, I’m setting up an M-PESA and bank agency hub at the café to make financial services more accessible and convenient for residents.

Through this project, I aim to continue expanding my business while empowering others through technology, training, and employment opportunities.

Thank you once again to the entire Zidisha community for your continued trust and support. You are helping small entrepreneurs like me grow sustainably and make a real difference in our communities.

Warm regards,

Joe Munyiri

Nakuru City, Kenya
