my name is Genesio nyaga born 1978 raised in a rural area of Eastern part of Kenya,raised by a single mother,graduated from college in the year 2004 in computer programming

During my college was working but salary was very little,I managed to safe for over ten years I was employed,I left employment and withdraw my savings and opened a cosmetics business,while on cosmetics business I was working as a construction foreman,the business didn't make through the year of corona epidemic.

2022 had already saved ksh200,000 my spouse suggested we open a restaurant which is currently progressing thanks to Zidisha family for loans,nothing different with our culture we almost embrace the same culture and businesses are not affected by little differences in culture

My First son now 16yrs want to become a computer engineer, second born a daughter 13yrs want to be a chief chef,

Have a hobby of watching football, sometimes used to be in computer games when am free

I provide food,soft drinks I also sell snacks ,I also have rooms that are booked for meetings

Outskirts of capital city Nairobi where I operate my business the population is huge and I target specific age group who have really embraced my products

I was persuaded by my spouse to set that kind of business she was a hotelier before we met

I generated my revenue from saving ,from there I started borrowing from mobile banking

Most of my profifs is used to reinvest in growing the business,I pay school fees from my construction job, little I use from business for home improvement

I always expand my business evey time I get funds from zidisha,when I get this fund will buy a freezer to keep the remaining food and soft drinks ,this will help me to avoid a lot of waste,thus increasing the sales , would also employ another waitress/waiter since without waste will be making more money and will be able to give a job opportunity
