01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

I founded Discipy Online Cyber to meet the growing demand for accessible cyber services in our community. Starting from my campus room with just a donated laptop, we've come a long way. Today, we operate a physical cyber cafe in Mombasa's Kiembeni area, offering a range of essential services like HELB applications, KRA registration, NTSA, NSSF, and NHIF services, along with document printing. Our mission is to make life easier by allowing clients to handle these tasks from their own homes. Our slogan, "Quality cyber services from the comfort of your home," captures our commitment to convenience and excellence. In addition to our services, we provide basic computer classes to locals at an affordable fee of Kshs. 4,000, empowering them with essential digital skills. Looking ahead, I aim to expand into photography, videography, and merchandise printing, while enhancing my skills in graphic design and web development. Despite financial challenges, my passion for growth and community.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

The main problem I aim to solve with Discipy Online Cyber is the lack of convenient and affordable access to essential cyber services in our community.

By offering these services remotely and through a physical cyber cafe, I aim to make these tasks easier and more accessible for everyone, particularly students and local residents who may not have easy access to such facilities.
