About Me

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lilian Osore, and I am thrilled to be part of this remarkable platform. I believe in the power of entrepreneurship and the transformative impact it can have on individuals and communities alike. Through this introduction, I would like to share my journey, from my humble childhood and education to overcoming hardships and achieving significant goals in my life, which eventually led me to start my own business.

As a child, I grew up in a small village surrounded by nature's beauty and the warmth of a tight-knit community. My upbringing instilled in me the values of hard work, determination, and resilience. Despite the limited resources, I was fortunate enough to receive an education that became my guiding light.

Education became my beacon of hope, empowering me to dream beyond the boundaries that constrained my circumstances. I immersed myself in books, constantly seeking knowledge and expanding my horizons. However, my path was not without obstacles. Financial hardships frequently cast a shadow over my aspirations, making it challenging to pursue higher education.

But I refused to let adversity define me. With unwavering determination, I sought out scholarships and opportunities, working tirelessly to secure funding for my education. Through sheer perseverance and the support of mentors and well-wishers, I triumphed over financial barriers and achieved my goal of obtaining a degree in business administration.

The challenges I faced during my journey only fueled my desire to make a positive change in the world. I realized that I wanted to create opportunities not just for myself, but also for others facing similar obstacles. This realization led me to take a leap of faith and start my own business.

Starting a business from scratch was no easy feat. It demanded long hours, sleepless nights, and an unwavering belief in my vision. I overcame the initial hurdles by leveraging my education, tapping into my network, and seeking guidance from seasoned entrepreneurs. With their invaluable advice and my relentless drive, I transformed my business idea into a tangible reality.

Through perseverance and adaptability, I navigated the unpredictable waters of entrepreneurship. I embraced every setback as a lesson, every obstacle as an opportunity for growth. With time, my business began to flourish, creating employment opportunities and making a positive impact on my community.

Now, standing here as an entrepreneur and Zidisha member, I am filled with gratitude and a deep sense of purpose. I am excited to be part of this incredible community that believes in the power of microloans to transform lives. With the support of Zidisha, I hope to expand my business, create more employment opportunities, and uplift others facing financial hardships.

Thank you for allowing me to share my story. I look forward to connecting with fellow entrepreneurs, lenders, and supporters through Zidisha, as we collectively work towards a world where dreams are not limited by circumstances, but are fueled by empowerment and opportunities.

Sincerely,
Lilian Osore

My Business

As the owner of an executive Airbnb business in Kilimani and Runda, my income is derived from providing exceptional accommodations to discerning travelers. These upscale accommodations meet the demand for luxurious and comfortable stays in prime locations. I chose this business because of my passion for hospitality and a recognized gap in the market. Typical costs include property expenses, maintenance, staff salaries, and marketing. Revenue is generated through high occupancy rates and competitive nightly rates. I use profits to reinvest in property enhancements, marketing efforts, staff development, and supporting local community initiatives.

Project Proposal

I plan to use the funds raised for increasing the number of my Airbnb rooms and also improving features of the rooms. I would also like to add the number of amentities.
