About Me

Tell your story in at least 300 characters
I was born 48 years back. My father did not fancy education. I was thus educated by my mother up to university. I did a lot of manual labor to raise college fees and upkeep.
I have always wanted to be independent. I thus started thinking of starting a small school. My people value education a lot. My daughter wants to become an engineer and I keep encouraging her a lot.
I enjoy watching movies. I can sit a whole day patiently watching a story unfold.

My Business

Describe your business or income source in at least 300 characters
Currently I provide accommodation. I give rooms and get some rent. Houses are in demand as people who come to work in the town I live need accommodation and a place to stay. It was easy to run as it does not involve me a lot. I intend to convert the rooms into a school once I raise the funds. Currently the costs are minimum apart from expansion. The tenants pau rent which is my revenue. I save and expand. I pay fees for children and meet my other life demands.

Loan Proposal

With the loan I will buy some sand which goes for kshs 9000 a lorry and pay cement at a hardware shop awaiting othe funds to commence work. I will there fore have offset expenses for the next phase of the building and wiil sleep easy.

    Hi. I improved one of my rooms which had no tenants. I expect it to be occupied by next week. It will be rented at kshs 2500 a month. This will go a long way in ensuring I improve my living standards in

    I will buy sand at kshs 15000 and cement at kshs 10000. The rest will pay labor for plastering.
    This will move me closer to completion so I can rent out later.
    I wish to Express heartfelt gratitude for the funds. Once again thank you very much.

    Today I pent the say revising the budget for the next zidisha loan. Sand is now 12000 kshs and water is still scarce. I was able to get a vendor who will sell water at 0.50shillings per litre. I have contacted fundi and he is available starting next week. Looking forward to the loan. Thanks.

    Hi. With the last loan funds I purchased a 23litre tank to collect water for project work. The tank though without accessories has been very helpful in storing water from the company that supplies water and the tenants and myself can not complain much. This has increased tenant confidence and thus non has left or threatened to leave my premises. In fact I have a number asking for vacancy.

    Hi Good lenders. With the previous loan I bought a tank that stores water for my tenants. This makes life easy for all of us.

    The loan assisted me a lot. The tank stored water and my tenants have an easy time.

    Hi. I realised that some small investment I did has started to pay a little and thus I can afford an extra 500 a week. I also wish to get another loan to move quickly to my dream.
    Thanks.

    Hi. Dear lenders. With the amount I got, I realised that the tank was not the best priority. At least not the size I was going to buy. I need at least 10000 litre. So I bought some sand and some cement. The sand is 10000, Cement is 7000. The balance I plan to pay labor to plaster a room or two. There is no immediate impact as this is a long term project but my family is very happy for very soon they will live on a bigger house and we shall rent the one we live in.
    Currently it is raining in this country. My work of curing the slab has been made easy.
    Thanks again.

    My dear lenders. I want to confirm that I received kshs 33,250 last evening. Today being Sunday, I am not able to go shopping for the tank. I intend to do this tommorow. Thank you very much.

    Good afternoon good people. I am very delighted this afternoon that you have raised finds to loan me.
    I plan to buy a 3,500 litre tank to collect rain water this rainy season to use when rains are not falling. This will help as I will not have to buy water which is expensive.
    Once again thanks and may the Lord bless you.
    Njuguna.
