About Me

I am 29yrs old.Raised from a humble background in Nairobi,Kenya i grew up with my four siblings i.e 2brothers and a twin sister.I am blessed with a lovely daughter called Kayla Monique.
In Kenya i live in Langata,Nairobi area and that is where i run my business too.I am an enterprenuer by profession hence i decided to venture in business because that's one field that people have neglected so much since they've been stereo-typed that the only way to get successful is to run for a white collar job.Business has great potential in kenya.
I have studied business management at the Kenya Institute of management I believe that spending less and investing more is the key to financial success.

My Business

I own a Cybercafe called RightClick Technologies that is registered under the Kenyan Government.RightClick Technologies is my main source of income and It is Located in Langata, Nairobi.
There is rising demand of my service because information and technology is fast rising thus nowadays internet is one of the most important things in life.The main reason why my business is profitable is because it doesn't have a peak or off-peak season because people must browse, print, photocopy, scan e.t.c
My typical monthly costs can go up to kes40,000 thus my monthly sales on average is kes70,000 leaving me with a net of kes30,000.
I intend to invest my loan fully in business so that my sales can increase and i can maximize profit which is my main objective. Thanks to zidisha for always supporting the small and medium sized businesses.

Loan Proposal

I'm believing everyone is doing fine.My business is catching up well though i need to purchase a stronger computer to act as a server since the one i have is inconveniencing me since its hanging and going off.
The computer will help me control everything from my desk thus I'll avoid unnecessary movements and also minimize on taking some of the job to other people.
A good CPU goes for a hundred dollars hence i will top up 30 dollars since there are deductions incurred.I will use my screen in the meantime because the money won't be enough to buy a whole set though it will help me so much.
Kindly believe in my course and help me realize my dream.
God bless Zidisha Abudantly.

    Many thanks lenders for giving me the opportunity to better my life. I was offline for a very long time. Reason being is that i had a mild stroke. My vein raptured in the brain thus causing blood to clot. My issue was even highlighted on national newspaper and i was even interviewed to encourage and inspire young guys not to loose hope.
    I am glad to say that i have fully recovered and im back to business. If there is any further query kindly don't hesitate to mail me at [email protected]

    Hey Lenders...
    My sincere apologies for being silent.Really had a very rough time at the beginning of this year as my assets got stolen from my premises.It really messed me up since i had to close down.At least for now i i'm back to business and im planning to resume with my payments.I need to pay my loan by mid October and so i have to discipline myself and be time conscious.
    Otherwise i hope you are all fine.God bless.

    I kindly need to reschedule my loan since business is abit slow and i need to catch up with my on time repayments.Last month was challenging for me because i had to travel for my late dads anniversary for 2weeks thus making it hard for me to make payments.
    The money funded really helped me a lot hence i really want to be loyal to my lenders and to create a good reputation so as to get future loans and attract more lenders.Thanks for understanding and i'm assuring my lenders that i'll be back on track soon.
    God bless Zidisha.

    Davies,

    Thank you for your first repayment. Just make sure to either make all further repayments on time or else reschedule your payments. It would be a pity if your on-time repayments score went below 100% by being just a few days late. A less than 100% score also makes it a bit harder to get a second loan financed.
