My name is Gideon Magu. I was born on the third day of August 1972 in a small village at Engineer.
I attended school at Rugongo Pry while walking a distance, barefooted for about 6 km. This meant I had to wake up at 4.00am because the teachers were really strict.
I completed my primary education and got good marks which got me to Nyahururu high school. I graduated with the grade of C+, later on I attended Kiwan Computer College where I graduated with Diploma in Information Technology.
I set up my own small cyber business which I started with one computer. Later I have improve to three but I still have space to increase to ten.
Mostly there are businessmen/women.
My children are also in the IT Sector.
My hobby is programming different things on the website platform like cartoons.
I offer all the computer services required such as: renewal of driving licenses, application of good conduct, Itax returns, photocopying, lamination, printing, typing, designing of business cards, wedding cards, invitation cards and eulogies.
There is no other cyber cafes around here so the businessmen/women are forced to travel long distances.
I chose this kind of business because computer is in my blood, I love computer and I like what I can do with the computer.
My costs annually amount to 200,000 and my revenues amount to 500,000.
I have children who are in college and so I pay for their fees and upkeep. Am also investing to buy a plot.
I need money to buy another computer. My cyber has only four computers and the demand is too high, I have to buy at least one more computer so as to server my growing number of customers. If the loan is not enough to buy a computer, I will buy photocopy papers which will in turn aid me to source for a computer.
