My name is Joseph masese machira I was born in 1963 at munanda in bahati nakuru county I joined munanda primary school and later Rongai boys for my O levels . After school I joined comboni polytechnic in Gilgil town for a course in carpentry and joinery to the level of a diploma. I worked with various institutions and lastly Gilgil telecoms industries. In 2006 I decided to start self employment of producing wooden furniture in my workshop at Gilgil town I am married and blessed with 3 children.
My business is located in gilgil town specialized in the production of wooden furniture. I started this business after I realized there was great demand for wooden furniture among the local community. I produce sofa sets, wall units, beds, Filling cabinets, office furniture etc . I normally get orders in my workshop where I am in stock of the row materials to produce the same. My business does well because I supply school desks and other commodities to the leaning institutions in and outside nakuru county. It is from its proceeds that I was able to buy a plot and built my own residential house. The worst challenge my business faces is luck of modern tools to make exotic like furniture which would definitely attract a lot of orders. With zidisha platform I am optimistic that I will be able to fulfill this dream.
Once i get the loan i shall look for modern jig saw working machine for my workshop use.this shall enable me cut timber to irregular shape for furniture.the machine will cost $180 This shall fasten production out put thus increase profit.
