About Me

Allan Ogada is a Kenya coming from a very humble and large family. Both parents being teachers, my education through to university was a learning experience and a challenge at equal measure. Due to limited financial resources, I was on and off from school. However, encouragement and valuable support from my parents kept my ambition of becoming an employer at least one day before I finally die, alive. Through my education in university undertaking Community Resource Management and extension, I learnt two things; first, the uniqueness of the contemporary lifestyle and culture of my community where everyone wants to standout and secondly, that you can achieve anything great with the little resources you can get hold to. This two concepts of life teachings change my life altogether. They made me to venture into branding business where I aim at providing personalized products in which each client can distinctively identify himself or herself from others. Again, I believe I can and will achieve this with little resources and support am blessed with. I have reached this far through the help of others and therefore I do feel blessed when I pass the same to others helping them especially the young achieve their fullest potential. I do read and explore my environment all the time to learn and grow.

My Business

Am in branding business, I love the industry because I understand it and its dynamic which is engaging intellectually and equally amazing. I aim at branding on any kind of product but currently am offering apparel, cap, mug, plate, vinyl, vehicle stickers, and signage branding services. I also offer consultancy services on research and community based projects. This has been a success due to the uniqueness of human where each and all of my clients always feel great when they distinctively stand out from the rest. I have found this to boost their confidence and happiness also. When they are happy, am happy too. This has increased my client base mainly through referrals.
The business is capital demanding but through personal savings and support from friends and family, I have managed to acquire the basic to start it off. Again, the business has high profit margin which has enabled me to sustain it, reinvest and grow it in phases. It has also enabled me to network with others in the industry growing me personally as well.
Lenders, I believe this humble start will be a stepping stone to achieving my greatness. I therefore call for your kind support, the same my society expects from me. Come on board and help me help others. Thank you.

    This is to inform lenders that my business is doing very well. I managed to acquire paints and brand my shop though not yet completed. But I can say it has created awareness and aesthetic of the shop. This has increased client base and income significantly by about 20%. Am repaying my current loan and saving to complete the branding on the outside then embark on interior branding. At least now am being noticed within the neighborhood as the face of the business is changing, the power of branding. Thanks again Zidisha family for changing my life. Am now confident, I can achieve whatever I dream of.

    Hallo Lenders,
    Thanks again for this kind support. As I had indicated, am going to invest this money in branding my shop listing all the services and products I offer. This includes, paints of about Kshs. 2000 and service fee of Kshs. 500 the remainder is for any miscellaneous.
    I believe this will help me greatly on marketing for the services which would have a significant improvement on income.
    I promise to keep you updated on my progress.
    Thanks again for the support and may God bless you all.

    Let me take this opportunity to thank the Zidisha community for the great support following disbursement of the first loan. This was mainly for subscription and now am glad to share that I am duly a member. Thanks to the lenders. My business environment is picking up and I can experience increase of customers and this mainly through referrals. Am therefore planning to do branding of my shop as a marketing strategy with my next loan. I thus call upon lenders to help me achieve this and help me grow as well.
