About Me

I began my academic journey as a young boy, culminating in the completion of my KCPE in 2007 with a commendable B+ grade. Despite this achievement, financial constraints delayed my entry into secondary school. After two challenging years, I finally enrolled and completed my KCSE in 2013. Tragically, during this period, I lost my mother, who had been supporting my secondary education through her small business. Determined to continue my studies, I persevered and secured admission to Kenyatta University. Initially, I relied on bursaries and part-time self-employment to finance my education. However, when the bursaries ceased, I transitioned to full-time entrepreneurship to sustain my academic pursuits. Today, I successfully balance my business endeavors while financing my education through a school-based program. With unwavering dedication, I am on track to graduate with a degree program within a year. Despite the challenges and setbacks along the way, I am immensely proud of my journey and deeply grateful to Zidisha for empowering me to turn my aspirations into reality.

My Business

My first training was on videography at Abedys Media Studios. After mastering the art of camera work, I decided to embark on a new adventure. Transitioning from capturing moments at events to running a tuck shop felt like a natural progression. Now, I spend my days serving customers with a smile, offering them a variety of snacks, drinks, and essentials. While my focus has shifted from the lens to the counter, my passion for entrepreneurship and providing for others remains as strong as ever.

Loan Proposal

I intend to add on some money to buy a new digital Hd camcorder costing $200. This will help me to shoot more quality videos and hence increase my quality reputation, consequently this will increase the scope of the number of my customers and projects thus increasing my profit up to 50% from the previous earnings.
