My name is Bernard Omondi Onyango. I have 4 brothers and 1 sister. The lady is currently sitting her high school final exam. My family and I live in Embakasi, Nairobi.
I went to Kagwa Primary School in Rarieda District. I passed and joined Makasembo High School. Consequently, I joined Intraglobal Training Institute in Nairobi. After college, I worked in as a volunteer teacher. I then started writing on a freelance basis when I could not secure a job. I bought my first laptop using my first loan from Zidisha. After article writing for some time, I took another loan and used it to buy 6 more computers for writers. I then trained and employed more writers. This worked well initially but when I discovered I could not retain writers for long due to competition even after training them, I used the computers to open a cybercafe. I want to invest more in the same business.
I also support different members of my community from my pocket. We also learn God's word every week in my house to inspire our members to look forward to a better future and work hard. In addition, I send them inspirational messages via my phone on a daily basis. People need hope to be able to transform into productive people in the spiritual and physical world.
My main business currently is offering cybercafe services. I started with the loan I took from Zidisha last year. Initially, I was writing articles online. I then accidentally learned that I can make more money in this new business. I have 6 Computers today and want to buy 10 more computers.
I will use the profits to grow the business, take care of my children's education, and support various community programs geared towards supporting the needy. I will be able to support and employ some of them.
I want to buy a back up battery to ensure I am not interrupted by electricity blackouts. Electricity interruptions are common in my business location, and this is a recipe for non-productivity, a situation I don't fathom.
With the proposed resources (Loan battery backup), I will be in a position to work faultlessly because of less interruptions. I will earn more, and will provide to the society more in terms of taxes and other levies. I need at least $ 120 dollars to meet this very objective. I am capable to repay the requested amount, because, previously I have worked with the organization, I believe my business will re-pay the requested amount .

I will use the profits to grow the business, take care of my children's education, and support unprivileged people, especially in our church. I will be able to support and employ some of them.
