About Me

My name is Mrs. Ruth Victorine Musela I am married to Mr. Yose Musela and we are blessed with one son, we reside on Riara Road in Riara Meadows 15 minutes walk from Nakumatt Junction. I am a retired secretary after being a secretary for the last 20 years. I decided to open a Secretarial Bureau where I offer secretarial services having vast experience in this field.

I thank God because I have managed to run it for the last 6 years but I would like to improve and boost it to become a bigger business.

My Business

About my business I started it as a typing and photocopy shop. Apart from photocopying I introduced snacks and drinks to keep my clients going as a do the photocopying and typing for them. My photocopier machine is an old version and I would like to get one that photocopy and scan at the same time. I also would love to increase my stock in the shop since it is in a prime area and it gets busy and I get that sometime I do not have enough stock. I would love to grow my business into a big business which can sustain me and my family. I have introduced M-pesa business through your kind assistance and it is doing very well only I need to have more float at any given time.

I have started a Self organization group of about 30 business minded people, we have meetings every Fridays with the aim of helping each other financially and with good ideas. I also have an orphan that I am educating through the finances I make from my business that's thanks to you people who have been of great assistance to me.

By God's grace I have started a prayer group which we meet and share the word of God and read the bible together and very soon we are starting prayer lesson where we impart other ladies on how to go before the Lord on your own I thank God for that.

With the help of God I know I can make it because there are opportunity.

Loan Proposal

I would to request a loan of USD.930 to boost my M-pesa business. You funded me with the loan to extend my business and I began an M-pesa business the way it works you need to have enough float that is enough cash in hand and on the phone set because people come to withdraw so you give them liquid cash whereas some come to deposit which means you deposit money on their accounts on phone so at any given time you should have enough money to transact both at any given time. For this reason I should always be able to have enough money on phone and in cash for my clientele and this business is very efficient to us in our country instead of carrying hard cash you carry it on your handset, which serves everyone other than the plastic money which some people cannot afford I would like to let you know that I have an orphan I am paying his secondary school fee which I have to do additional business to expand the business to be able to make more to fund the school fees. Thanking you for your kind consideration.

Regards,
Ruth Musela

    RISK MONEY REFUND
    Ruth Musela Jun 22
    Hi Zidisha Team,

    I am writing to complain the way you are handling my situation as though l have defaulted with you money where as the people you are involving you are not being sincere to let them know that you have my Risk Money to the tune KShs.75,680/ which you can always deduct and refund me the balance of KShs..54,076 which leaves a sum of KShs.21,604/= instead of communicating to me you are tarnishing my name I am releasing to all of the people you have conducted with the communication and all the information about the loans and the amount of money you have been deducting but l still pay the full amount with the understanding that when l decide to stop taking loans from you I am supposed to get the deducted money back but you have decided to make me look like a bad person who has defaulted you have not even replied my message of 17th June 2020 please straight forward with everyone its so unfortunate the way your office is handling my situation I am very disappointed.

    Think about this situation so that the same should not happen to any other person in the Zidisha
    Family because this is uncalled for.

    Hi Julia,
    Apparently on my side I do not have the said communication.
    I would love you to reconsider, mighty be some people have not been affected just like l have been am sorry l cannot promise to pay any money at the moment.

    I can't understand why my risk money can't stands in the gap for such a scenario. I believe you understand how we who can't work online and our potential clients have closed indefinitely, what do you want me to do?

    Remember this is a global calamity which l believe you people should understand we have been hit really hard. I am sorry to say that l would not lie to you that l can go to the adjustment of loan section to adjust the amount of money to pay while l have closed the business until am back on my feet and l hoped the balance as l quoted would be able to atleast assist me in one way or another.

    I am awaiting your favourable response l have been a long time borrower on this platform and l have never faulted in my payment am l asking too much from since this is not my making.

    Regards,
    Mrs. Ruth Musela

    Dear Ruth,

    I'm so sorry for the delay in responding. There was a technical error which caused us to not receive your message until now. The error has now been fixed.

    I'm afraid we do not have any way to use risk funds to offset loan repayments due. If you cannot afford to pay the full amount due but can pay just one unit of currency per week, I do encourage you to use our Adjust Installment option. We offer it in order to help anyone who is in financial difficulties and have relaxed restrictions around its use in response to the Covid-19 situation. You can adjust your installments to pay as little as you want (down to 1 unit of currency per week) and can use it as many times as needed until the situation improves.

    Using this option will reset your on-time repayment status so that you will no longer receive collection messages and you can maintain your on-time repayment rate, and there is no fee or charge for it.

    Please let me know if you have any questions or difficulties.

    Kind regards,

    Julia Kurnia

    Hi Lenders,

    I very grateful the way you assisted me in building my business l will always be grateful. Due to the covid-19 I am having a big challenge and sometimes l delay in paying and was requesting as l have calculated my Risk Fund since l started borrowing from you is KShs.75,680/= and the balance of the loan is Kshs.54,076 l would like to request that you deduct from my Risk Fund which will leave me with KShs.21,604/= you refund me. I would be very grateful.

    Thanking you in advance for you kind consideration.

    Regards,
    Mrs. Ruth Victorine Musela


    My Lenders I sorry to bring this to your notice because nobody wants to handle the problem in question instead they have send a email to the people who know as l am a defaulter and some of the emails they have not responded back because we have been applying for loans and you are not given in full and they told us we will have the deducted money back when you stop borrowing. Due the pandemic l have put in plain they deduct my balance loan from the risk fund and refund me the balance but they have turned a deaf year and decided otherwise that's why l have decided to write to you and forward my correspondence to you.

    Regards,
    Ruth Musela
