About Me

I am Leonard Musungu Isalano, aged 45 born in 1973 at Mungavo Village, Serem Sub- location, Shamakhokho Location, Hamisi Sub-County, Vihiga County- Western Kenya. We were born 10 children and our father was jobless and due to poverty in our family, I could not aford to continue with my school and I dropped from school as a result.

Our land is too rocky of which even food is not enough for us and I was foced to go and be employed to take care of my neighbor cattle of which I managed to raise small money to buy shaving machine and began barber shop at Seremi market.

My children need to have agood education to enhance them to have a better future than mine.

I think if you support me with a loan of 453 US dollars then I will manage to expand my business with sodas and buy salon equipments. I therefore kindly request for you to lend me with the above money.

My Business

I run a barber business and sell sodas. My business began very small and is enabling me to pay school fees for my children and buy them food but just struggling. I kindly request for a loan to sustain my business. Thank you sir for your generous response. Waiting to receiving from you.

Loan Proposal

If you add me some more funds, I think to by new shaving machine two peaces @4500 Ksh =9000 KES. 10grates of sodas @650kes =6500/=KES, 10 bags of maize @2850= kes =28500/- KES and 1500/= I will pay for my children school fees. I hope God will open ways for you to help me.

    In my country the schools are reopening for the third term and the business is down, so I found it to be fair on my side to change my weekly instalment. Thank you.
