I am George 38yrs I started school in 1987 and dropped out deu to lack of school fees. This made me very determined in making my future bright . So I connected with my cousin in Eldoret who accomodited me for three months . Within those three months he would give me 50/ ksh for food which I budgeted and savad some in order to start a business. I started a business with 600/ksh which was hawking biskuit .The business was doing good until the time I was employed by Raiply wood and I worked for three years we were dismissed due to lack of material. After that I hired a bicycle which I used as BODA boda . I felt the job was tiresome so I started to think how to overcome I introduced a merry go round so that I may raise capital for driving school , and when the amount was enough I enrolled for driving .Since then I work as driver.
Driver town service I drive a tuktuk which offers me my daily bread house rent and school fees for my children , also I have recently managed to start a small shop which my wife operates
Since the time for schools reopening has passed and I have catered for the needs of my children through other means the loan will help me to reservice the tuk tuk for a better flow in transporting my clients. This include buying a new clutch plates which is 5dollars ,new oil 3liters 10.5dollars reverse cable 9dolars,air cleaner 12dollars and 18dollars for labour charges
