About Me
My name is Philippe Opiyo Sadjah, born on the 21st of April 1980 in Nyeri County, Kenya. I am born to Mary Mukami Sadjah and Georgiehs Owuor Sadjah. Married to Ruth Wanjiru Kamau and a father of two. I am currently working for War On Campaign Kenya as their Regional Manager for Lower Eastern/Ukambani Region of Kenya, working on community empowerment, HIV/AIDS prevention, Care giving. I currently reside in Machakos Town, Machakos County, Kenya. My hobbies are sightseeing, traveling, making friends, reading in general, and politics. I have studied up to college level on Project Management and Community development, Sales and marketing, and computer knowledge.
My Business
I currently operate a transport business of 3 Omni Maruti Suzuki Vans that operate around Machakos Town business center offering Taxi services or public service vehicle, I also offer Money transfer services through Mpesa dealership. I do have 10 outlets opened for the money transfer services. All this business is under Matrix Holding Limited where am the Managing Director. My returns from the business per month from the taxi services is USD 340 and from the Money transfer services USD113. I have employed approximately 13 employees in my enterprises and my goal is to expand it the venture and afford opportunities for more young people to join me and solve the issues of unemployment in Kenya and in my County.
The business supplements my budget and helps me support my family on daily basis.
Loan Proposal
I own three taxi vehicles that operate in Machakos Town and offer transport services each day. On other days they are hired privately by Customers to deliver goods or offer transport service to a long distance at an affordable price per day or per hour. The business gives at least $338 per month. To operate the business the vehicles must be in good conditions at all times, neat, and in good condition according to government and traffic police laws and regulations. The vehicles also are supposed to go for mechanical services on monthly basis which sometimes is very expensive.
The loan am applying will be used to maintaining them and buying Spare parts and to replace the worn out tyres that if not replaced can make me stop operations and cost me much by loosing business. I will be very glad if Zidisha partners considers my loan application.
