About Me

I was born and raised in a family of 8. I'm the second-last born in my family, but 3 of my siblings have already passed away. I've completed my primary and secondary school studies, with the help of my older siblings. I joined Kenya Polytechnic College to pursue Agriculture. I worked as a supervisor at Kericho Tea Plantations. I later resorted to studying a diploma program in Civil Engineering at Kibabii College. I always had plans to widen my education range and get much expertise in as many fields. I know this will help me get more opportunities from more fields.

My Business

Once I finished college, I got a job at Kericho Tea Plantations as a supervisor. I got enough money to enable me pursue a diploma in civil engineering at Kibabii College. I completed this program, and later got a better job at Mombasa Plumbing Industries. I mainly work on machines, checking on whether they're working properly and ascertaining of smooth running with persons using these machines. This job has been of much aid, as I earn 55 dollars per week, and 20-dollar week allowances. I'm planning to become a freelance plumber, instead of working at a company.

Loan Proposal

I am seeking this loan, getting almost 80 dollars after Zidisha deduction charges, to purchase new machines. I will add almost 40 dollars to meet the cost of these machines. These machines will enable me to market myself a freelance plumber. I've concluded that this will be better than my current job, especially considering that I'll market myself in the developing areas, that aren't yet developed. I am prospecting that I'll earn a minimum of $150 as a freelance plumber. This will earn me enough money to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. It will also be enough to pay for this loan, within a period of three weeks. In advance, I appreciate a lot.
