About Me

My name is Virginia Musyoki, born in Machakos county near Nairobi city. I was brought up in a typical rural home in a family of 3 and I am the second born. My parent are small scale farmers and this is what they do for their upkeep.

I went to primary and later secondary school around my home area and later joined a computer college where I did a course in computer graphics and design. I later relocated to Mombasa where I got a job as a computer operator. I later opened a small computer bureau with savings that I had made from my previous job.

I am a hardworking person and a go getter and I believe in honest living. I am an active member of my church where I belong to various groups within the church.

My Business

As stated above, I own a computer bureau where I do a number of computer related work such as typesetting, printing, documents lamination and binding. My business is located in Mombasa city in an area that is densely populated and this is a big advantage since I am always assured of a large group of clients who come to seek my services.

However, I face a number challenges key among them lack of credit to expand the business. In spite of these challenges, I the prospects of my business looks bright and I since I have already established a good number of loyal clients in the last five years that I have been in this business.

My average net income per month is about $200 and I am hoping that this figure will go up if I get a credit line from Zidisha.

Loan Proposal

I intend to spend this loan as follows:

1. 20 reams of photocopy paper at a total cost of $65
2. 1 flat ream of Art paper (thick type) at a total cost of $30

This will boost my business in a big way since it will ensure that I have a constant supply of consumables thus increase my efficiency.

Thank you.

    Dear lenders, please do not let this loan expire. This is now my second loan and it has expired twice this is the third time to apply. For those who have lent me before, you know my track record and I will maintain the same when loaned for the second time. For those other lenders, please take time and have a look at my repayment history. Thank you.

    I got my loan towards the end of last year. I had asked for a loan to enable me buy a printer for my printing work. I am glad I got the money on time and went ahead to buy the printer which has become a very valuable asset in my business. I no longer have to have my work printed elsewhere since I do most of my works under my roof. I am humbled by your kindness and I can only say thank you and may you continue with the same spirit.

    I bought Printing materials as I had explained ealier as I was requesting for Loan. Since i bought the materials my earnings have increased from $200 to $300. I have bought more materials from the earnings. I have also paid school fees for my daughter through the earnings. We as family are happy about zidisha and would encourage you to keep on lending people so that they may improve in their day lives.
