i am run a place where i teacher people how to use computer and make clothes. i began with computer awareness when i got my second loan from zidisha that enabled me to buy computers. today i have 8 computers that are used by my learners. I do teacher at least 6- 8 learners every day from Monday to Friday, from this business of computer awareness, I got an ideal of teaching people how make clothes, i started this business of teaching people how to make clothes last year 2016 when i bought 6 sewing machines that are used by 8 learners daily. if get zidisha funds I plan to expand these two businesses for there many who need these skills in their day to day life style.
Am proud of being associated with Zidisha since 2012 when I applied for my first loan. For the three loans that I got from zidisha have made me start projects that do benefit the community around where I stay. Am proud of the projects that I have developed using the Zidisha funds.
The second loan I started a computer awareness classes that have made many people know how to use a computer. Since I started this project in 2013, at least 100 people have known how to use the computer yearly. I have bought 8 computers for this project.
The third loan I used it to start a tailoring and dress making in 2016. I have 6 sewing machines in this project that I use to train those who have finished primary education and did not manage to proceed with their higher education, Up to today I have 8 learners who attend class daily and am preparing them for a Trade test grade 3 at the end of this year by December.
I look forward to expand this project when i get zidisha funds by buying more (2) computers and (4) sewing machines.
For this loan I want to buy the following:
a) 2 computers @ Ksh 15,000/= --- Ksh. 30,000/=
b) 4 sewing machines @ Ksh. 8,000/= -- Ksh. 32,000/=
Total -- Ksh. 62,000/=
buying this equipment will create more room for more people to train in these skills
