About Me

I am a proud father, a husband and a vision oriented individual.
Apart from that am an accountant, mentor, researcher, very resourceful; most importantly, highly ethical, works within prescribed deadlines and a good team player.
I also like to participate in social services like visiting orphans and childrens homes and spending time with them.
I also love participating in sports more so football and volleyball.

My Business

I am an accountant by proffession in our capital city Nairobi.I have engaged myself also into pig farming for the last 4 years and I can honestly say its one of the best investment ever since no much efforts are needed as you only feed them twice a day.I bought a young mother with last loan I got from Zindisha for $99 and it got served after 6 months after which it weaned 8 piglets,though by bad luck 4 of them died.I sold the 4 piglets each at $34 and remained with the mother which I served again and now am awaiting to see how many piglets will be weaned.I plan to sell the mother and then rear 2 of the weaned piglets.I hope Zindisha will approve my loan so that I may be able to buy feeds in large quantity.

Loan Proposal

I intend to build a shed with the loan.I have established that livestock business is booming and that I can use the profit I will make to boost my dream to venture into motorcycle business.I believe with Zindisha lenders financial journey I will make my dream come true.I thank you my Zindisha lenders for the journey we have been together.I have already calculated my expenses and realised that $83 will go to buying materials and labour for the shed.Then, $68 I will buy the livestock,and the balance of $10 will go to buying animal feeds.After 6 months I will be able to sell the livestock at the price of $146 and thereby will have made double the amount I bought them the first month.Then I will buy again this time adding the livestock and realising more profits.
Over the weekend I was working on the area to build the shed(in my picture).Previously the place was used as a firewood store so I had to bring it down and start again to put a shed,which I intend to start as soon as I receive the funds.
I thank my Zindisha lenders and am hoping to get funded to start the project soon.
