I was born in Nairobi, in the slum of Mathare. I joined Mathari primary school in 1981. I was later enrolled in Eastleigh High School and Nairobi Institute College where I attained Diploma in Draughtmanship. I worked as a draughtsman until 2013 when I joined my wife who is a trained secretary in our family business. We have two children one in primary school and the other in secondary school. Both would like to join us when they finish school. Currently we leave in Mwea. This is a rice growing area under irrigation. When not in work I do community work and reading.
We started our business in 2010. We offer secretarial services i.e typing, printing, design of wedding and birthday cards and selling stationeries. We have currently started shooting passport photo. We decided to venture into this business after identifying the problem facing the residents: most of them are not learned. For instance some bring documents written in English to be translated in their mother tongue for them to understand. Our profit is currently 60% of our purchase which is approximately 480dollars per month. We use our profit to pay our family bills including school fees for our children and expanding our business.
Once i will receive the loan i will buy my stock of drinks since i have introduce in my business another type of sales i.e selling soft drinks. A create of drinks cost 9.1 $ and i need 39 create. Total 354.9 $. 14.54$ will be used to transport them to my premises and printing leaflet for advertising new product.
Once customers come to my business premises sometimes they decide to stay waiting their typing and printing works to be completed. I decided to introduce sale of drink for them as they wait. This makes them wait their work as they enjoy the drlnks with their friends. This will give me addition of 31.9% profit
