I am a lady aged 26 years old living in Zimmerman area near Nairobi town with a passion for photography.In high school i was actively involved in co-curricular activities like drama and music festivals whereby i was accredited with 12 certificates of performance in solo verses.After completing 'O' levels in 2005 i joined a local national theartre in Nakuru town and acted several set books which we were being paid after every show. Since the pay was too low it took me 2years to purchase my first digital camera which cost $134.70.I was very happy and started taking photos of my friends and family at a fee of $0.56. In 2007 i enrolled in a college in Nairobi town and studied journalism.The school assisted me a great deal since i acquired skills in video coverage,editing and photography.I graduated in December 2009 and in 2010 the company Ark Media i worked for was able to get a contract with Care international.We traveled to the North Eastern part of our country and did several projects. In all the projects i was a camera person.I have always had a passion for business and to become a professional photographer with the state of the art studio whereby i will have several permanent employees.After my contract with the company ended in 2011 i started my own business in media consulting and i also do SEO article writing online part time.
My business in media consulting involves a variety of services which include video coverage and editing weddings and birthdays .Due to the increasing population there is a high demand for the services.Most clients prefer my services since i keep my word and I am trustworthy.I always ensure that the work is done exemplary well and in good time.The business is profitable since the services i offer majority of the people want to document and cherish the good times.My typical monthly expenses include traveling $56.12,My sales revenue $505.13 and the profit i gain is $449.08.My part time writing SEO articles averagely i get $200 in a month.
When i get funded it will greatly help me in my business in that i will be able to purchase a HP pro book laptop at $303.1 and the remaining amount i will purchase camera tapes.The pro-book laptop will enable me carry my video and photography business effectively since the laptop is a bit faster and this will assist me in video editing. As a result of this i will be able to handle more projects at a shorter time this in turn will increase the returns in my business.
The camera tapes will help me be able to employ one or two employees who will help me in video coverage and so i will be able to handle two or more projects at a go. I would like to be supported since i cannot be able to raise the amount at once alone. This is due to the the high cost of living in our country and high prices of goods.
