About Me

Energetic, hardworking young man passionate about improving lives of family members and neighbors through education and digital literacy. I support my extended family of a widowed mum and 5 siblings and 4 children. I pay the family upkeep as well as school fees for the children. I intend to further my studies in the near future so that I can be better equipped to handle the expanding needs of the projects I am handling. My family members assist me with the daily chores ensuring we keep our expenses down. At times I reach out to local schools to offer training to their learners. There are challenges in receiving payments on time but most of them do eventually pay the agreed amount.

My Business

Teaching computer packages to youth and the elderly. Part time farming, crop and animal husbandry. I started teaching computer to high school learners as well as professionals who wanted to know how to use computers to improve their work experiences. The terms are normally negotiable for the different clients. The peak times are usually the school holidays. Clients can pay between 500 to 2000 for a 2 week training course. I have been training at my home but I managed to rent a room to reduce distraction from the home activities. Monthly rent and utility costs add upto to 9000.
The farm work is mostly seasonal dependent on the rains and water availability. I practise subsistence farming with the surplus sold to neighbours for money or exchanged for farm labour. I keep chicken for meat and eggs.
