About Me

I am a young lady,being the first born in a family of 5 girls.I am a Kenyan resident of Machakos town in Machakos county,65km from Nairobi city .
I am a business lady,dealing with second hand apparels as well as shoes.
I am self employed as opportunities for formal employment are limited and apparels provide a steady form of income that will sustain me.
I have done studies up to O level,and due to scarcity of school fees was unable to proceed.I do intent to go back to school and undertake a diploma when the finances allow.

My Business

I am a second hand apparel dealer ,with plans to grow the business to increase the clientele.currently i do deal in ladies denim jeans,shoes,hand bags and tops.
My business location is near the Machakos university college,thus affording me a steady stream of customers all throughout the year.
I am certain due to the particular items on offer and with a reference to my price point,customers will always be making purchases from my shop.
From the business i manage to meet my monthly expenses,both for the shop as well as my rented residence.

Loan Proposal

I do intend to increase the capital to increase my stock. This will help ensure my clients get the right products everytime.
I do stock second hand garments which are what a majority of my clientèle can afford. A good number of them rely on education loans thus can't afford to buy new cloths

    Hi Scolasticah
    Do you have any news of Belinda Odongo? She has not made a single payment so far, and you're the one who invited her. Kindly inquire.
    Thank you.

    Hello everyone,hope this finds you well.business has been a bit slow this start of the year.
    This has inconvienced me financially making me unable to continue making the previous repayments.
    I do acknowledge that when business improves Iwill hike the repays.
    Thank you for your assistance thus far.

    Hello and a happy new year to you all.I would like to do a loan rescheduling due to my inability to make repayments consistently as i would love to.Business has been low over the final quarter of the year 2014,coupled by my sinking of funds in my relocation.Even so,i do promise that by end of January 2015,my repayments will be back to normal.Thank you for your understanding and considerate disposition.
    Looking forward to a great 2015.

    Hi Scolasticah,

    We thought $30 per piece. Can you buy fabric and have an easy to sew skirt made by a local dressmaker/tailor for that money? I can’t find your email address - could you email us so that we can send you the sewing pattern? Here’s our email address

    [email protected]

    Kind regards,

    Annika and Beatrice

    Dear Scolasticah,

    I liked your clothing store on Zidisha and I thought you might be interested in expanding your business. I need a couple of skirts made with traditional African fabric. I was wondering if you are interested in taking over that task. You would need to find a local dressmaker or tailor to sew the skirts (the patterns are ready) and send the skirts overseas.

    Please let me know if you are interested!

    Best wishes,

    Beatrice Siegel

    Hi,due to low business due to schools having just reopened and having taken my daughter back to school, i am unable to repay my loan this past week.
    During school openings,am financially challenged as i have to take my daughter back to school as well as business being low as customers have low purchasing power.
    Promise to resume in the coming week.thank you for your understanding.
