Am Samuel Njoroge, born 29 ago years ago. I live at Maaimahiu along the Naivasha - Nairobi route at the Samax intersection. My house is next to the Maaimahiu presbyterian church of East Africa. The building is known as Kahinga building, a wall stoned building. I went to Nyakinyua primary school and later joined Karima Secondary school. Due to lack of fees I could not proceed to college.
I started my business five years ago. I run a video show where members of the public get to watch the latest movies and soccer matches at a fee. I have a small room, a tv, a few benches a dstv decoder. I added a few chairs and power extntion cables. The flow of customers has increased. I chose this business because there was a gap in the provision of entertainment industry. In a typical off peak day I make 2dollars per day but during the weekend I make about 5 dollars on Saturday and Sunday respectively. I pay a rent of 700 dollars. I use the money I make for my daily upkeep and at least save some for the future.
With this loan, Im planning to buy more chairs. I plan to buy 10 chairs for 70dollars. I also wish to invest in a good sound system by acquiring a woofer and a dvd player. This will cost about 10 dollars. This will make my hall to be have at least some state of the art equipment. This will go a long way towards towards improving my job.
