About Me

I am Wycliffe and i was born in a poor family whereby getting education was a very big problem. my parents struggled and i was admitted to a public primary school where i managed to finish class 8. Going to secondary school was a nightmare since it was really challenging for us. getting school fee was a challenge since my parents were not able to raise the funds. We could ask for harambees and help from well wishers to support my secondary school education.
I have a family and i am struggling to educate my children since i am not well off. my children would like to be better persons when they grow up.

My Business

My business is about bakery where i bake cakes, doughnuts, tea scones and other bakery products,where i started by borrowing an oven from a friend for the business. i am supposed to return the oven to the owner after one year. I am intending to grow my business and also be able to acquire my own oven to enable smooth running of my business.
I chose this kind of business because where i stay there is a lot of customers and i am very positive that the business will grow large after getting my own machine.
the profit is very minimal and its really not enough to cater for my family and my children's education.

Loan Proposal

If i get loan i will buy baking tins because right now i am using sufurias to bake which i have seen it is so challenging .I know t will benefit my family and the clients because the products will come out nicely and the clients will get good products.On my side i will get profit and it will me be able to raise my family.I expect the profit to increase by 20% .

    I want to take this opportunity to thank you Joost for your encouragement.I applied this loan last week and up to now i have not gotten it and wishing me good luck.God bless you.My business is now about to stop because i was waiting for this loan to buy the materials to use in my shop.Sometimes customers are coming and they lack what they ordered because i dont have money to boost the business,but i thank God for everything.

    I am Wycliffe,a Zidisha member.I want to take this opportunity to thank all the lenders for the good work they are doing to the community.The loan that i got was very small hence i was not able to buy what i said i will buy.i know and trust that the loan i will get i will be able to buy some of the materials and serve the customers with less stress.My customers are very happy with the new products that i have introduced like cupcakes and croissants.Right now i have two customers who i am supplying the two products everyday and i am very happy though challenges here and there but i know God is faithful.Where i have come from is far and i know God is raising me.Once again may God bless you so much.

    I am Wycliffe,a Zidisha member.i want to take this opportunity to thank all the Zidisha lenders for the support they have given onto me.I started this business with little money and now i am somewhere.The loan i have been getting is not much but it has helped me to serve my customers,though not fully because of lack of some materials.I believe the loan i will get this time will help me to purchase the materials i need for the business.The earnings of my business has
    increased by 5% which has helped me to cater for my family.Once more may God protect all the Zidisha lenders for their good work.

    I am wycliffe, i take this opportunity to thank my lenders so much for the good work they are doing onto us. My business is growing slowly by slowly because the loan i got cannot be able to buy the requirements i want to boost my business.for now customers are many but sometimes i am not able to satisfy them.even paying the zidisha loan now is becoming difficult to me because what i am getting i am using it to support my family.But i cannot complain because if it were not zidisha i couldn't be able to start this business.May God be with you.
