About Me

I am a young Kenyan entrepreneur running cyber cafe at kakamega-Kambiri Junction, other than cybercafe i Train different kinds of people who want to know more about computers, i also sell computer related devices in my cafe. I have a motive that one day i will grow to a bigger institution that provides all computer needs (an ICT centre in the Village)

My Business

After doing information communication technology (ICT) in the college the year 2013, i worked as a cybercafé attendant in a very busy cybercafé in our city Nairobi where i acquired skills and experience that i decided to open my own cybercafé in my nearby Location. I used the money i had saved from my job and bought 1pc and Hp Printer DeskJet 1510 and started my new business. I do computer services which include; photocopying, typesetting, Laminating, Binding, Photo Printing, Scanning and printing. I also repair handsets (phones) by flashing codes using master code software and offer internet services in the village where I was brought up. I was motivated to offer these computer services because the people here do not know more about computers and they travel long distance to get computer services. I also offer computer lessons and teach the young and other people who wish to acquire computer knowledge. Am planning to expand and be a full ICT center that provides ICT consultancy to the society in my Location. I am happy to know Zidisha from a friend who has benefited from it for being there for people like us who has vision but no capital to start implementing. With such loans I will easily buy more computer equipment s that I need in my cyber cafe. At the moment I have only three computers and a deskjet hp printer but I hope Zidisha will help me get more computers to add in my room.

Loan Proposal

With that loan am intending to re-brand my cafe by painting attractive colors in and out of my cafe, the cafe looks a Little bit older than it should be and the colors used have been washed out/faded thus not giving it a clear image. am planning to buy 2 tins of paints and three brushes that will be used in painting, i will also make a small sign posts indicated the services that am offering, i will also design and paint computer related services and gadgets to the outside wall. this will benefit my business by making it attractive and more visible to people on the far end. i have big expectations that after re-branding my cafe, i will increase profit by attracting more customers.

    hi lenders am very grateful that my work is increasingly growing but unfortunately have been unable to dot the repayment on time due to luck of power that caused me to stop my work for a while, this is because my work mainly depends on electricity.... i therefore wish to buy a backup generator that i will be using when the power is off. thank you
