‘’There was an article that appeared In the Standard news paper sometime back about effort less income through the internet. It took me 1 week to think about it after which I visited the Maarifa centre. The field officer Mr. John Njue explained to me about using Ad sense to make money after becoming a blogger. There and there I was directed how to open an Ad sense account to activate the adsense widget in my blog. Am now earning through Google putting adverts in my blog. I am inviting you all to follow my blog : http://stanleymutemi.blogspot.com/
“The free interet service at Kyuso Maarifa centre has really helped the user so much, for example my group and I wanted to make branding for our locally produced mango juice. Little did I know whether we could get all kind of images/photos of fruits/juices. Through the centre we were able to download varieties of images which were used for designing our labels. Secondly, the staff at Kyuso Maarifa centre helped us search whether ‘Tatamu’ the brand name we wanted to give our juice product has been taken” Ali Mulei, Kyuso fruit grower
I acknowledge with thanks the free access to computer and internet at Kyuso Maarifa centre. As Kenya commercial bank (KCB) staff we are searching for the bank customers since Kyuso branch is newly created. The challenge is, it’s a requirement to have Kenya revenue authority Pin number for one to register as the bank customer. When I realized that there are free E-Governmental services such as KRA PIN, am able to convince many to join the bank since there is somewhere I can refer them for free service. Basically, the centre has helped the Bank acquire new customers” Jeff Muigai, KCB-Kyuso
