About Me

began my hustle early in February 2017 as a business lady who sells shoes, clothing and also make home made detergents and soaps for sale. I got some start up capital for my business from various sources. I hope the income I get, though currently very low will boost my business. I hope my business will be able to pay for my rent as well as increase my stock so as to boost my business. With the long holidays, I hope to do something better than in the past

My Business

Zidisha team has also helped me alot in boosting my business. The best profits I made were in the month of December 2017 and partly January during back to school. I was able to sell alot of clothes. I hope the income I get, though currently very low will boost my business. I hope that business shall be more stable this year compared to last year.

Loan Proposal

I plan to boost my February 2018 sales. My current stock is currently estimated at KES. 20,000 but the new stock i plan to but will boost my sales for February (Valentine month)... The loan i received last year in December really helped me. I was able to boost my stock for the festive season and back to school in terms of clothes and various detergents including liquid soap.

I took a loan of KES. 5667 last year and was able to repay in full comfortably. i now seek to get the new loan to assist me in my February sales. Thank you once again Zidisha team for your continued support in my business.

    Hello my funders. Many thanks for your support in my business. Despite the economic crunch currently in our country, I am glad that you supported my dream- where my passion is :-). During your last funding support, I was able to restock my clothes business and increase my supply of liquid soaps by almost 50%. I am now supplying to more hotels and additionally 2 primary schools and 1 daycare within my neighborhood. With the current profits, and hopefully funding for my next phase of business, I will be able to get more supplies from referrals especially in soap making part of my business. For the clothes, i will restock light-weight clothes are they are also fast moving during this hot season. I appreciate your financial support so much!!

    Thanks so much my funders. I will use the new funds to boost my business, I plan to increase my detergent and liquid making ingredients as these are the most fast-moving.

I look forward to making more profits in both items for my business estimated to a minimum of 35% on average to enable me generate enough to assist me in back to school requirements fro my child when schools reopen in late January 2023. i look forward to more success in my business. Thank you once again.

    Thanks my financiers for believing in my business and moreso, funding me in this new phase. These funds advanced to me will be of great benefit in expanding my business. My soap making in the recent phase increased supply by 60% with increase in profits by 30%. I am optimistic that with this new boost in funding from you will help realize more profits. I will now be able to keep a balance of both the soap making and clothes sales in terms of maintaining my inventory, constant supply, maintain my customers and keep profit margin stable or increase it. Many thanks once again my funders for this great support. I appreciate it alot

    Thank you so much my funders. I am really grateful from the funding I received from you in my previous phase of my business. I managed to make timely repayments for the loan advanced to me. This is because I received additional referrals in my soap making business. I managed to sell the liquid soap by supplying in bulk to two additional institutions- one hospital and one primary school. My profit and overall total earnings have increased and I am now planning to venture into a more thriving partnership business very soon. Many thanks once again for contributing to the success of my business

    Hello my funders. Many thanks for the loan extended to me. I have just prepaid it and have received a star due to the good rating in my repayments. The loan has been of great assistance to me and my business. I was able to restock my clothes business and buy raw materials for soap making. My customers have also increased- thanks to the financial boost. Am grateful for this funding -now my business is rising up after the covid pandemic challenges. I am looking forward to receiving another loan to boost up my business more, so that i may get to a level of more sustainability.

    Thank you so much for boosting my business. The loan amount you have disbursed to me will be of great help. I plan to use it to boost my business by adding some more stock especially the type of clothes that my customers have requested for (warm jackets, stockings, trousers for all ages) and buying the ingredients required for making liquid soap which is now in high demand from my returning clients. From my projections, I intend to get a profit growth/ margin of between 5-9% which will enable me to pay my Zidisha loan comfortably
