My name is Celestine Anyango Mbinga first born in a family of seven, I grew up in hands of single mother who struggled to take me to school and computer studies (certificate in packages).
It was so difficult raising the seven of us because my mother was running a grocery business that could not raise sufficient income to give us quality education.I decided to venture in creative art and design business to be able to change lifestyle and also support my children to have a better future. I am a mother of two, a boy and a girl and also lives with other two boys whom i am supporting . my hobby is listen to gospel music.
I print bill boards, T-shirts, business cards, wedding cards and office budges to different institutions like hospitals, schools, NGOS, shops, churches and individuals. I also supply stationery to different institution s where i go through bids to win tenders. I personally do typical art and design work with the help of other 3 people who were once street children and through this can earn a living and be self reliant, which has been indeed a plus for me. I got a capital of Kshs 20000 from my uncle which has increased to a turnover of Kshs. 33000 per month
I wish to request Zidisha to once more consider me for funding of $ 293.5 to help me purchase a computer so that I am in a position to do my own designs and print for my place of work to avoid spending money elsewhere for the same. This will in turn help me make more profits, plough back in the business and also support two street children whom I have been mentoring as they assist me in hand work. Based on my market experience and coverage I intend to make a profit of KES 2,500 per week and this will help me service the loan and also run the business.
