My name is Richard Lewa born in kilifi and the second child in a family of nine. I schooled at bundacho primary thereafter robe boys high school. I then went to the Mombasa industrial training centre a did a course in welding and fabrication. I managed to get funds from the youth funds 2011 and bought some welding equipments and opened my workshop in mshomoroni, Mombasa. My culture is nice more so when one marries and goes to pay dowry, there must be palm wine for the elders to bless the marriage. I am blessed with one child who wants to be a teacher. In my free time, I love watching soccer.
I deal with welding and fabrication business where i design and produce doors, windows, furniture and also does repairing motors. The service is useful because the construction and housing business is good here. My first loan has improved the business alot eve my profits have grown. I am now making on average $ 150 each month from a figure of average $ 70 per month. I use the profit in supporting my family and to grow the business.
What I will do with the loam amount is that I purchase a drilling machine which will cost me $ 60. This will highly enhance efficiency of my business. I will save in my profit by not renting a machine again.
