My name is Patrick Kagwi Gacoki born in 1973 at Kirinyaga Cental, Mwea District in Kenya. I started my primary education back in 1980.

we are nine siblings in our family it was hard for all of us to go through education since our parents are all casual labourers.

I later joined secondary school in 1981 and did my o levels in 1985 where i passed well and joined college in insurance field.

After college i was employed in an insurance agency as a marketer. It has been hard for to balance life with family and school going children.

i got married and i have been blessed with four boys three in high school and one in primary school.

I used to save every month to enable me start the current business am doing today of selling tonners and printer

In Meru we have very unique cultural and we are well known in growing pishori rice.

I want to give my children the best in education so that the can do want the want to be in future. One is aspiring to be a doctor and the other one an artist, lawyer respectively.

When am free i usually go to the gym since i want to physically fit all the time.

I got employed in an insurance company where i saved up to start my business in selling printer and tonners.

I have been selling different types of printing machines including laser printer Epson and Bizhub. My main client are cyber, private office, institutions including secondary schools around my area.

I decided to venture into this business since people are usually sold generic/Fake machine and tonners and end up using a lot of money. Due my original machine and tonner I have gained a lot of clients in the process since the get quality and save lots of money

Most of the toners I get from my suppliers ranging from 3000 to 3500 and I usually sell them from 4000. For tonners I usually have a stock of Ksh. 100,000. For machines i get commission from kshs. 3000 to 8000 depending with the type of machines.

I do deliveries in schools and get paid after 30 working days. My business have ben doing well but I get constrains when my money get held and I got other clients to supply.\

With my profits i use them to educate my children and I also do a side hustle of growing rice. I also invest in my business to get good profits. I have come to get some here in your organization which I learnt about online. I will be happy if give a boost in my business and repay the said amount in installment. thanks in advance

Given the funds I will use it to buy some tonners and sell to my clients at a profit. Since I have already purchase orders in my desk from few organization that want to be supplied with original tonners.That will enable me pay the money back and use my profits to top up my stock.
