About Me

My name is Samson Muriithi. I was born in Nanyuki town of Kenya.I am currently living in Mombasa with my relatives where I am doing motor vehicle repair work.

My work is tough since I do repair work with basic tools and in an open air place which tends to be very hot during the day. However, I like this job since it gives me money for my upkeep and for securing my future.

I am currently single.

My Business

I sell vehicle spare parts and lubricants. I store them in our workshop where clients come to buy them when they want to have their vehicles fixed. I started this business slightly over one year ago and I make about $ 80 a month since it is still a small business.

I hope that it will grow and give me more income in the near future.

Loan Proposal

I will use this money to buy a box of 6 cans of engine oil which I use a lot in my workshop when doing maintenance work. This will cost me USD 20 and it is likely to last for one month.

I will be able to save quite a bit since I will get a discount for buying a whole box as opposed to buying one piece at a time. This will mean more 'take home' amount for me which is a good thing.

Thank you.

    Please start making payments on your Zidisha loan. Your repayment rate is falling to a percent where it will be difficult to get a loan. Zidisha ia a powerful tool to grow businesses. Don't let that slip away.

    Please reduce your payment if you need to to keep up with your loan. As a lender I have 21 loans where the borrowers have not made payments, some for close to a year. Their are thousands of dollars not being put back for borrowers. This affects everyone. I cannot lend what I am not paid back. Making regular payments even small ones helps everyone have access to the funds they need to grow their businesses. Thank you.

    Hi Samson, Please contact Zidisha to lower your loan payment. Lenders would rather see very small payments rather than missed payments. We understand that businesses can have slow times as well as good times. I hope you and your family are well.

    Thank for your continued support. A client of mine who owed me some money for a long time paid me off and I decided to settle this loan immediately. Thank you once more.
