About Me

My name is Lucy Gatobu. I grew up in the Meru rural area. After I finished my form four, I came to Nairobi City to do my diploma in Information Technology with Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology and I am now pursuing a BSc. in Information Technology.

Life has never been easy. I started my business so that I could pay my school fees, since there are other siblings behind me and they are still in school and I am the second born. Even with my degree, I could have graduated in 2013 but I had to take a break to look for money then go back. I started my first business, a kiosk, when I was 19 years old in order to survive while I was doing my diploma.

The unique thing about the area where my business is that it is located within Nairobi University and my clients are students. I am always updated with technology since my customers are the digital generation.

I have a daughter who is 10 years old and she would like to be architect when she grows up. She is also very smart in mathematics and designing. My unique hobby is reading the bible so serious, as if I am going to do an exam.

That [in one of the photos] is my daughter: she is in grade 5 at Agah Khan Junior School Nairobi. She is the one who lenders paid for her trip and she was very happy. Thank you very much, lenders.

My Business

My business is a cyber cafe that is located within the University of Nairobi. The business sells goods like photocopy papers, all types of envelops and stationary.
The services my business offers: typing, printing, photocopying, binding, scanning, Internet and computer maintenance.

These goods and services are in a very high demand since the students require them for smoother learning. They will always need to photocopy the notes, books, typing of the assignments and also internet usage.

On average, the business operations on a costs of 18,000.00 Kenya shillings with a monthly sales of between 30,000-45,000. The profit margins are at 100,000.00 shillings. The loan will be invested into the business to buy more cyber equipment like a photocopy machine and improving working conditions and environment.

Loan Proposal

I would like to expand my business by increasing stock and things like being Bank Agent where by i will be operating like a bank. All the services which are being done by the bank i will be able to do them. Withdrawing money, depositing money and opening the account. I need like 40 thousands shillings to start that type of business. I have already talked to the National bank, Cooperative bank,KCB band and equity bank. I believe you will hear my cry and lend me the loan. Thank you God bless you so much.

Yours faithfully
Lucy Gatobu
