Sospeter is 23 years old. He was raised by a single mother who later passed away. He now lives in Nairobi West where he runs a business repairing and selling mobile phone accessories. The little money his mother had saved for him was used by Sospeter to go to college where he acquired skills to repair mobile phones.


After college he started borrowing tools from some of his friends in existing phone repair businesses. His friends were generous to him. With these tools he repaired phones and saved enough money to enable him to acquire his own tools. These tools consisted of screw drivers, a soldering kit, and testers. With these tools and his skills, he started Mteto Mobile Repair. After working for awhile, he saved enough money to enable him to also start selling mobile phone accessories. The accessories include mobile phone chargers, scratch cards, and new phone lines. As a result, Sospeter changed his business name to Mteto Mobile Repair and Accessories.


Sospeter sees a great opportunity to further improve his business. He is requesting a loan of Ksh. 20,000 ($275.00) from Kiva lenders. With this loan he will be able to increase his stock of accessories. He says there is a high demand for mobile phone accessories due to the increased number of mobile phone users. He would like to take advantage of this high demand to grow his business. He is optimistic that he will be able to repay the loan within 12 months.
