I was brought up in central Kenya, Kiambu county, Thika Sub County. I am the fifth born in a family of seven siblings. I attended Mutuma Primary school and proceeded to Mutuma Secondary schoo in Thika. I did my certificate in secretarial course in St. John's Community centre in Pumwani and did my Computer packages in Data centre. i did part time jobs for sometimes. the meager wages i saved enabled me start my own business in Nairobi, buruburu estate where i started with two machines and a printer. i opened acybercafe. many young people like betting games and since not many busisses of my kind are there, atleast i am left with something at the end of each day. i have got four children of which my fisrt born wants to be an it engineer where the other three wants to businesses. on weekends, after church i join other women deaconesses to visit the sick and needy people in the society.
As i have indicated above, i started a cybercafe with 70 dollars as my capital. with this amount, i bought two computer machines and a printer both of which were second hand. i opted on this kind of business because it was in line with what i did in college. with the sportpesa betting and many other betting available in our society now, i tend to have many youths coming. my problem right now is lackof machines. in a single day my total expenses range between ksh800 and ksh1000 . what i collect in a day ranges between ksh900 and ksh1500 in a good day. part of my profits are used personal upkeep and expanding my business. like recntly i bought a binding machine from those savings.
i want to upgrade my computers as they are a bit slow and customers complain.
I need like US$10 per computer . I'll upgrade 4 of them.
Thanking you in advance
