About Me

My name is Hellen Mtawali. I work in the entertainment industry. I spot out upcoming talent in my country and nurture them to be great musicians. I have been able to support upcoming talent however sometimes funds are scarce. Sometimes people whom we have given service do not pay in time. I hope with this loan scheme I can be able to top up and continue nurturing talent as well as buy music equipment for students.

My Business

I am the founder of a music band called AFRIZO VOICES. we sing songs from all over Africa. We provide live band music. .I wish to thank Zidisha for being able to support my work by providing funds that help me grow my business. So far I have been able to buy microphones sound, books and a computer for our DJ with the help of sponsors from zidisha. This has been able to make people hear quality music and so thanks to the Zidisha team. Profits that I make have been used to increase equipment and buy whatever is useful to facilitate the team. More members have joined my music team indicating that positive feedback has been achieved by people loving my music and more members signing in for music training. Thanks to zidisha for enabling me to progress.

Loan Proposal

Once again I am so greatful for a team such as Zidisha that has enabled me see my dream come to pass. I am happy about having bought microphones for our use and the quality music that has been achieved. Now this time I wish to have an amplifier for the sound. I have been able to save some money to buy one. However I need some amount to top up and this is where Zidisha comes in. A good amplifier is very expensive but thank God I have saved some amount that can get me close to what the music shop requires. If Zidisha tops up for me with about 9,000/- Ksh which I qualify for, I shall be able to purchase an amplifier. Thank you for making me expidite this process. Blessings

    Originally scheduled to take four weeks, this loan was paid off after about ten weeks. I enjoy supporting people that have their act together.

    Hellen only received $10 of the $92 she requested. She paid this off with a single payment a week later. I look forward to helping again with such a unique and inspirational business.

    The Corona pandemic has interfered with business and it is not as usual. We have no public gatherings and music classes any more. Currently I have resorted to teaching online in virtual settings but people are still not able to pay. The installment arrangement is helpful. Thank you for understanding.

    The economic regression because of Corona that has hit the world has grossly affected our country. Working in the education and entertainment industry, we have been highly affected and so there is no crowd, no income. However will try my level best to expidite pay.

    I am wishing to thank Zidisha for being faithful in helping me develop my music company. I wish to buy a carpet to put at the office. The office that I work in can get pretty cold and I hope the money I receive will help me cover the floor. It is also great to have the sound trapped as we practice so that we do not make noise to the neighboring offices. Thanks Zidisha.

    Hi Mtawali,
    I am giving you this loan, because I am a music lover myself. Music is more than just a medicine to me. It is my breath, so to speak. I also believe that music connects different people better than other forms of entertainments. I decided to do my part as soon as I found and heard this youtu.be/kjUwC5eE56g . I believe in you . Let’s talk more about your music projects later, shall we?

    Happy new year,
    Cheers, and
    Have a good one

    Vic

    The latest loan I was given was utilised well. This has made my students increase from 25 to 35. This means I shall increase more text books that they use. Right now I am in need of manuscript books. Those are used for music theory. Not many people find theory interesting but I am amazed at how much books I am gonna buy because of the intake increase. I am glad zidisha has made me expand my services to people who want to learn more. Thanks you sponsors, thank you zidisha.

    I appreciate Zidisha a lot. This time, I lost my phone and lost my account details. I had saved my password and account details on this precious phone. When my phone got stolen, I could not access my account so as to pay my loans on time. I sincerely apologize for this mishap. I could also have done my repayment way before I travelled to my new place of work. I wish to thank Zidisha assistant who was able to help me recover my account as well as enabled me gain back zidisha paybill details to be able to pay back. I know my credit score has gone down. Hope I can be able to get my act together next time.

    Zidisha still remains my best loans scheme.

    Thanks
    Hellen

    I wish to appreciate Paul Buchheit from Mountanview United states for funding my project. I will buy music books so that students who go through my music training are able to learn how to use their voice for quality music production. Thank you very much for making this process exceptionally fast. When my students come out quality this will mean more students and more music production and thus enriching Kenyas entertainment and this means peoples lives empowered.

    I wish to thank my precious lenders because I as able to purchase whatever tools of trade I need for my ministry. Zidisha has been very helpful until I have bee able to recommend this loans scheme to my friends. Posting my progress in Zidisha wall has also made a few people know what I do and so I have not just been able to receive loans but Zidisha has made me start productive conversations with people who want to join the entertainment world through music. Thanks to Zidisha. The last project I was able to buy uniforms, other loans also enabled me grow musically and purchase equipment. Thank you so much . I qualified for 9320 Kenya shillings.

    I wish to thank you Paul Bucheit from Mountain view. I have once been to Mountain view Arizona. Hope its the place you too come from. People from that area are very generous and I count myself blest to have someone from that area fully fund my loan. I wish to buy new cables for my music equipment. My band will be excited to use new cables that do not cause that annoying feedback noise. Thank you for this will but up to 30 meters of cable to help in connecting my music equipment to power. Once again thank you.
