About Me

I am 35years old married man with two children.I am a technician by profession but I opted to venture into business and I have done it for about 3years now.I got my training at the Mombasa polytechnic Institute where I did my course.What's unique about the land and culture where i live is that the land is fertile and there is plenty of fish from the lake and its the food people like mostly. My hobbies are cycling and making friends.I like also doing electrical repair to the people in my area.Because of unemployment I would like to open up another shop and put someone to run.

My Business

I offer shaving services at my barber shop . Why clients prefer my services is that i have been in the market for long and i offer quality and affordable services compared to others I also offer shoe shinning services as after sale services for my clients. At the moment I am facing a problem of lack of enough machines to help me offer the services efficiently because I have many clients and two of my machines got worn out. To solve this problem, I would like to buy some three machines to serve clients better and also start a saloon. I make about 180 US Dollars per month. Othewise with this am able to raise more money for expenses hence leaving me with good profit to save & repay the Zidisha loan if granted.
