About Me

I'm a shop owner at busia county who has been in the business for a while now I love my job through its ups and downs
I'm very dedicated to what I do
I never finished college because of fees but started my own business
I was born in meru and used to doing Miraa business as a young man
I overcame all hardship after dropping school to start my own kiosk
Malaba is located at the border of Kenya and Uganda so most customers are truck drivers
I want my kids to get the best that I ever had
I love watching movies and plating soccer in my free time

My Business

My shop is a general one selling brokenedy bulk products...I make money from my small shop selling general house item
I chose it because I have been doing it for a while
I have a wife and two kids aged 7 and 9 both in school
Parts of the profit goes to school fees and the rest is plough backnow to the business

Loan Proposal

I wish to increase my stock in order to ensure customer satisfaction in my business
I also wish to introduce two shifts night and day and employ an extra hand to help me out in one of the shifts
I also want to venture in agriculture so as to increase my income so that I can grow even more in business

    I have called Zakayo Gitonga but he is not picking the call. I also tried to reach some of his referees but non of them could give an account of Zakayo Gitonga. I will try next time to find out where the problem is.

    Dear Zakayo Gitonga,

    Your loan has been expired as you have requested via email to "[email protected]". I am posting this note here so that the lenders from the public who contributed money toward the full funding of your loan request will know why it has been expired. We apologize for the delay. There was a technical bug preventing the ability to expire this loan earlier this month when you first sent in your email to the administrative team for Kenya.

    Kind regards,
    Laurie
    The Zidisha Team
