I live in Keringet, Nakuru County. I am a graduate with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics from the University of Nairobi. Getting stable jobs since then has been a challenge. I currently work with Old Mutual Kenya as a Financial Advisor in Nakuru. I have previously worked for Micro Africa as a sales Agent and for African Population and Health Research Center as a Research Assistant. Keringet is an upcoming town. It climate favors agriculture. The place is cold with relatively enough rains throughout the year.
As stated above I work for Old Mutual Kenya as a Financial Advisor. The job is commission-based and sometimes I may earn so little when the sales are low. I have therefore looked into other means to supplement my income. I have a phone shop in Keringet where I sell airtime, phones, and phone accessories. The business does well because of it is the headquarters of Kuresoi district. There is also money in circulation because of thriving agriculture in the area.
I am also a farmer. I have three acres of land, which I plan to put the whole of it into use by the end of the year. So far, one acre has potatoes. This is the main crop that does well here. Per month, I make an average of Sh. 30000. This year I plan to work more on agriculture as well as stock my business. This will only be possible with the help of Zidisha Community. Thank you.
I am grateful for this opportunity given to me to be part of the Zidisha team. With time, I look forward to growing my business to the next level through the help of Zidisha. I will use the loan to stock my shop with phone accessories and electrical accessories. My business is located in Keringet, Nakuru County. Doing business in this place is rewarding because of its strategic location and that it is the headquarters of Kuresoi District, thus it has many offices.
My aim is to make my business a unique one where customers get solutions pertaining the goods and services which I offer. I plan to use Zidisha loan to help me meet this goal.
