About Me

Hi, am a 24 year old man. Am ambitious and enterprising and working towards economic stability by age of 28. Am currently working as a freelance writer with a number of online companies. Along with this, i got a passion for farming. Currently i deal in small scale crop farming, mainly growing food crops like potatoes and peas. My plan is to expand into a fully fledged large scale farmer by 2015. Am an only child having lost my brother to cancer in 1999. I come from Nakuru county in the great rift valley. This area is ideal for farming and i seek to exploit this opportunity by being a successful farmer. I went to a local primary school for my Primary education before going to Uganda for my O AND A- Level studies at Bugema Adventist Secondary School. I sat for my O-level examination in 2006 and managed a 1 st Division. Sat and passed my A-level examination attaining 2principle passes and 2 subsidiary passes in 2008. Joined Kabarak University in 2010 to pursue a bachelors Degree in Commerce, Accounting option. There after, i joined the writing fraternity and have worked on it for a year now. I use my earnings to facilitate my writing career as well as to fund my farming projects. Really looking forward to your funding. Thanks

My Business

AS already stated, am a freelance writer with a number of online writing companies (4writers.net, Writer bay and Elance). I carry out research writing, academic papers, resume writing, editing and proof reading, to mention but a few. My clients are mostly college students globally. Businesses also seek my help with writing fliers and marketing posters from time to time. I get paid through Paypal and wire transfers to my account numbers, USUALLY ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH DEPENDING ON THE CLIENT AND THE CONTRACT TERMS WE HAVE. MY EARNINGS RANGE FROM 200 dollars TO 350 dollars EACH MONTH. My dedication and diligence has seen me earn the trust of many clients over time. this has gone a long way in cushioning me from the competition in the market. The challenge i face is mainly to do with power disruptions and occasional poor internet connection. Luckily, these are quite rare. I plan to use this funding and the savings i have to buy a new laptop so that i can write better. I pledge my full cooperation and commitment to service my loans diligently and faithfully. Looking forward to your funding. Thanks

Loan Proposal

Hi,
First, let me thank the lenders who funded my first loan and the entire Zidisha community. This loan will go towards the purchasing of a laptop. With the first loan, i was able to increase my monthly earning to an average of 400 dollars a month. From this, i have been able to save 100 dollars so far. this loan will go towards boosting this amount so i can purchase a laptop worth 350 dollars. This new laptop will allow me hire an assistant who will aid me in serving my clientele better. Be informed that the first loan allowed me serve my customer's well since i got a laptop then. The customers are happy with my services and have become loyal to me.This has seen me handle more and more workload, hence the need to get an assistant. Looking forward to your funding. Thank you so much

    Hi Zidisha community. Its with much regret that i write to inform you that i havent been able to stay upto date with my loans repayments. Two weeks ago, my new business in Kasarani was robbed, i lost much of my inventory as well as a week's revenue. At first i thought i would keep up with my savings but i soon realized i could not. Am sorry for not informing you on time but you have my word that starting 5th October, i will be able to faithfully service my loan. Please bear with me as i revive my business. Thanks alot
