About Me
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.
My Business
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.
Loan Proposal
If advanced the facility, I will use it together with my savings to give my video hall some facelift. I will make the benches comfortable because for now they are all bare and it is uncomfortable to sit on them for hours. A little of painting will also go a long way in making the place look neat. In the long run, I dream to have a wide screen for customers better viewing and an uninterrupted power supply to cushion us from frequent power blackouts which damage machines.
