In the year 2004 joined olenguruani day secondary school where I did my Kenya certificate of secondary education in the year 2007.After my 0 level i join my family in farm work mostly looking after cows and sheeps for about two years later.I moved to Nairobi to look for employment luckily with the help of my friend I secured a job in a food chain industry.After working for a while,I thought to start a business to supplement my salary,that was 2014 I decided to start a computer shop. I started buying the necessary equipment for the project one by one since I could not be able to raise the amount for all items at once. Mid last year I rented a room to run my business up to now the business is doing well. I would like my children to have a good life in future.The land where I live is very cool with alot of rain,every crops and animals can live there peacefully.
My Business
I am employed by a restaurant chain industry within the city of Nairobi and do my part job in my computer shop,my salary is 250 USD.in my computer shop I offer computer services, photography, printing typesetting and passport size photos. The demand is good since many people don't have equipment hence give other people to in their behalf in cost.This is part of my hobby I do it with passion its stress free and can be done by any body in my absence. The revenue from this business I pay rent,pills and pay my colleague whom I employed to do the job while I am away, from the total revenue of about 350 USD depending on the amount of work done per a month.The remaining amount I do reinvest it the business.
Loan Proposal
