I have always wondered how is it to start and run a business in Kenya without money and no titles.
But looking closely these days money is being thrown anywhere
Mkopo wa Salo- Barclays
Unsecured Personal Loans- Standard Chartered
Biashara Account- KCB
But some of us are highly sceptical of loans. Having gone through clients files and seeing how their lives have been doomed by taking loans especially in early years when interest rates were uncontrolled. Banks like StanChart and Barclays charged highs of 34% which i think was crazy.
However the Government, Equity is telling me i have access to Ksh. 7 billion
Seeing this Fanikisha project of UNDP and Equity is giving women access to 5 billion shillings, during the budget reading Kimunya gave women Ksh. 2 billion and the youth Fund Ksh. 1 billion. Yes i am eligible for all this money. How to optimize its use is what i am not sure about. I am told opportunities are everywhere, we just have to look harder.
I am really and madly hoping women of this country are going to join forces and make use of this money. I don't belong to any women/merry go round group myself but hey maybe its time to join one. One day Eve Muraya she of Colour Creations told us the only problem us women have is lack of synergy. Don't i agree more.
When i was watching CNN another day i came accross some interesting hero i.e www.kiva.org. It is interesting that someone came up with a very noble project that for only 25$ you will be able to fund a goat trader in Kenya the way they put it. well i will be looking at their field partners and processing information for some people i think could be in need.
Makutano Junction
Makutano Junction is a programme nobody should be able to miss. It is good, funny and wella this junction has everyone from Mama Mboga (my favourite), the Mchawi, the player Husband, and its very interesting to watch. Disappointing though, is that all the producers have English names meaning most good projects have an English hand to it and is heavily funded by the Ford Foundation and others. Almost truly local though even the language and accents.
Lovely weekend everyone, forgive my little access to technology and the less blogging. Maybe i need a Laptop for one donation myself.

Nothing really
If Smitta is to be believed Club Galileo is whack and Ciiku (Easy Presenter or is it former) is Multi talented. I don't know exactly what multi talents are but i agree to disagree. I heard Munene on Easy in the morning today so i don't think the multi talents are working any more. WE ALL KNOW what talents in MEDIA houses stand for (he hehe )
So i have been thinkin of all things in Nairobi, lets just say Everyone knows everyone. You know one person then you realize they were in school with another person you know and its all boring. Especially high school because al professionals went to lets say Docs went to Starch. So EX 1 thinks that guys who went to starch are smart cookies and kumbe smart cookies are also short (his version not mine)
So for the sake of generation continuity, i have to choose short and bright or tall and dumb. Burr you see i am not exactly dumb and now i am thinking a bit of tallcould produce tall and bright and the tall can play football, basket ball or handball and become FAMOUS!!! yiPPEE. We will be famous (like it matters)
So after my first failed attempts at making chapos (did i say chapos) i have not tried again and could do with some tips like put oil generously as some (owners of tadpoles,,..he he he) could say or use salad oil or use...or do dis n dat.
So now me i am a fan of girl flicks. How you ask, because all often a girl has to find herself in complicated situation. Somebody who was in the same uterus as i was and a girl was dumped yesterday (i am writing that because the boy who also came out of it is looking at what i am writing na sitaki anyite vile nasema) the last 3 words were to honour bantuts who has made sheng look like its the best thing since my chapos (lol!). So we were doing speeches in things like "look here dear this is not your soul mate and bluh bluh mob like you remember how he treated you on............. Ngai fafa!!!! It is hard i tell you. These manenos of love and being dumped. So we were telling her that ooh don't worry (speech!!!) I am reading from the writer of The devil wears Prada and at the part where this man who everyone wants likes that girl (can i hear wowwwwsssssss) So whuzfoolingwho?
So jienjoying, budget ya cyber imeisha.
