About Me

My name is Charles Abere Manyange. I am 24 years of age. My childhood education was one filled with challenges but I thank God I finally managed to overcome them all with the help of my parents. Another thing that kept posing a challenge to me was my high school education but, all in all, through hard work I finally completed. I joined a computer college and later I was able to start working in that college.
I like our culture for it is enriched with ancient practices such as traditional dances. I like watching movies.

My Business

In my business, I deal with selling goods such as books and examinations for primary and secondary schools in my locality. I chose this business because I like it and it is paying well for me. For example, I can earn as much as $100 per month when schools are in session. I look forward to expanding my business to the neighboring districts. I will be able to do this by increasing the rate of production of these exams and supplying them to different schools.

Loan Proposal

I am going to use this loan to buy a motorbike. I will then use this motorbike to supply my goods to various parts of the districts and schools. This initiative will boost my profit and cut my expenditure on transport costs. Since now I have two branches of my business, I will be able also to move between the two businesses to have high management. I am happy for your support in the past and I will be happy to see you lend to me again in future. Thank you very much, my frequent and new lenders, for the support.

About Me

My name is Charles Abere Manyange am 24 years of age.

Another moment that kept posing a challenge to me was my high school education but all in all through hardwork i finally completed. I joined computer college and later i was able to start working in that college. The experience that I got while working here was crucial to me because I used it as a ladder that moved me to the next successful step in my life.
I like our culture for it is enriched with ancient practices such as traditional dances. I like watching movies.

My Business

In my business i deal with selling goods such as books and examination for primary and secondary schools in my locality.

I look forward expanding my business to the neighboring districts. I will be able to do this by increasing the rate of production of these exams and supplying them to these different schools. My business has now been running in the past 4 yeasr. The business has been vital since it has helped most of the students to improve in class perfomance. My busines also has helped in creating jobs to the youth in my local village. Like now I managed to employ one lady and one gentleman who work in the two branches. This has changed and improved their living standards. I will intensify this business to ensure that the level education goes up and also eradicate poverty. As a result my business has grown to be so large till I have made a decision to build my own business house which can accommodate all the services that I offer under one roof.

Loan Proposal

I am going to use this loan to buy a motorbike which will cost about $ 850. I will then use this motorbike to supply my goods to various parts of the districts and school. This initiative will boost my profit and cut my expenditure on transport cost. Since now I have two branches of my business I will be able also to mover between the two businesses to have high management.

    Hello Charles,
    Please don't break your trust with your lenders. Pay back so that someone else can benefit as you did. May God see you through your tough times. At least show some small commitment. I am a lender in another platform and we only lend back the received already paid money. We rarely load money to our lending account. I know this is still the case with Zidisha lenders too. Please don't break the cycle of Zidisha helping others too.

    Dear lenders, My business was affected by the change of the education system from 844 curriculum to 2,6,3,3,3 and the syllabus by the government. So I had to start from scratch again. I am determined that business will regain to normal.

      Charles, I know you can survive with this challenge. Please try to keep repay your loan and your lenders trust in you. Your payment will help the others too.
      Keep trying, I know you can make it.

    Please make payments on your loan Charles. Zidisha is a powerful tool when used correctly to grow businesses. By not repaying you are not putting funds back into lenders acoounts. This affects other borrowers ability to be funded.
