I was born in 1989 in Kangemi. My mother was a single mother and she passed away when I was 7 years old. She used to be a teacher at St Martins Kangemi, and so that's how I ended up being enrolled there in class 1. The institution sponsored me through my primary, secondary and university education.
Immediately after high school, I joined Griffins College and pursued a certificate in computers. Afterwards I joined Kenyatta University and pursued a degree in education. I started my business while I was in campus from money I used to make out of offering tuition classes to secondary students. From the money I get from my business, I cater for my basic needs and save for expanding my business. I like socializing, dancing and teaching.
Since I started my business it's grown due to the quality service I offer my clients: the cybercafe is always full. I also offer computer classes to interested people at affordable rates and I am also employed at Parklands Arya Girls High School as a teacher, so making ends meet is not such a big challenge because I always have enough to sustain my needs and save.
My big challenge in business is when customers come and I am forced to send them away because my business premise is full. That's why I need the Zidisha funds so I may add to my savings and buy more computers for my business.
I need to add a photocopier machine to my business,the machine also has a scanner and a printer for it will enable me manage to assist my clients not only with cybercafe services but now they will be able to get photocopies,scanning services and printing this will allow my business to make more profits and also offer employment since i will need someone to operate the machine,a friend is selling at Ksh47,000 with the Ksh29,876 from Zidisha I will add to my savings and buy the machine for my business,paying will not be a problem since my business is doing well and also at work I got a permanent contract from the government so meeting my basic needs does not need to come from my business.Thanks in advance may God bless you all lenders.
