About Me

Am Dan Shama,the first born in a family member of 6. Went to school and finished my primary and secondary education through hardships since we were 3 in school and my parents couldn't afford to pay fees for all of us so I was on and off. After my secondary school, I acquired some little cash and opened a small retail shop in the village. I operated this shop for about one and a half years but it became difficult to maintain it since most of the income was directed to paying the fees for my siblings and offer a little support to my parents. Eventually I had to relocate to Nairobi city, where there was hope for a better income. I have been operating in a small shop in Nairobi since. However, the demands from my family have been straining the business and with my current inventory level, it will be difficult to remain afloat. It is for this reason I wish to apply for this loan so that I can boost my inventory, and be in a position to run my business while still meeting the demands of my family

My Business

I wish to inform my lenders that the year 2017 started quite well.Regardless of what has been happening cutting across my country, my business is doing fine. I am happy because I am still able to pay for my loan and still meet other expenses.I look forward to expanding my business that it can meet more needs. I am also looking forward to starting another business in the future as a result of the support I am getting from Zidisha. I once more wish to thank my lenders so much for helping my life to have a new shape. Thanks

Loan Proposal

When I get this loan,the first thing I will do is to buy a cooler for my food staff which will be very helpful by preserving the necessary added stock...second I will be very strict on the items to buy n the very first moving items in my store...third i will save some to pay school fees. I will also help the needy since I got some profit from previous loan...

    I talked to Dan who has been having some issues. First he lost his phone and did not know how to access the app because he kept getting an error message Everytime he tried downloading. I encouraged him to pay through the pay bill and also access Zidisha through the official website if he cant through the app. We also talked about timely repayments and it's benefit. I also encouraged him to try and pay more whenever he can to cushion him on bad days. I wished him all the best. He promised to pay something at the end of the day

    Dan is fine. I called his reference on 07**754444 we talked, he agreed to pass my messages to him. A man answered this call and he agreed to tell him to post a message when he will pay.072**55515 and the lady who received said she knows him but she lives far off from his place.

    Due to unavoidable circumstances, I've reduced my loan repayment since I've been not working as usual due to health related issues. But doing my level best to attain my credit limit.... Hope to be back on track...
