I am the first born in a family of six siblings. I grew up in Western Kenya. After high school there were no any opportunities in the countryside so i moved to Nairobi and enrolled for a course in I.T After finishing the course I went to to Nairobi's Industrial Area where I landed a job as a casual labourer. I worked and save money and after a year I opened a stall selling green vegetables. I managed to save some more and moved to Nakuru where I opened my mini cyber cafe business.

I hope to expand my business and make it bigger with two or more branches in future.

My business offers internet services, printing, photocopying as well as stationery. I started this business in 2010 in order to be self reliant and also to have a decent life. Working in Industries as a labourer was very dehumanizing and I wanted a change. My biggest challenge is lack of enough resources for expansion. My customers are individuals who want to browse the net, schools, institutions and businesses. In a good month i make net profits of upto $120 which i use to pay rent and other expenses and re-channel the remaining amount into the businessIn future i intent to expand my business and open more branches. I am proud of my business when I see it help people connect to the world, get jobs and businesses.

This loan will help me purchase 3 kva ups uninterruptible power supply to curb the power surge problem. the cost of the UPS is $ 40. I will also buy stationery such as fulls caps, printing paper, toner cartridge, envelops, marker pens and Biro pens I will use $ 30. I will use some purchases in my business while I will sell others to institutions and individuals. This will increase sales for the business and increase revenue and profit. I expect the business to be much stable and more profitable while my personal life and that of my family will improve.
