About Me

I was born in a town called suneka right here in Kenya.i went through my primary and high school level within suneka town.I joined a technical college after high school to study carpentry which I successfully completed and opened my own carpentry shop after from the savings I had and support from parents.I am a hard working man and I always strive to succeed . people around my place love my carpentry art works and some just come to my work shop to have a glance at them.the main tourism attraction in my area is soap stone curvings.I am married with one kid.I love sports mainly footballer,traveling and helping others.

My Business

With the help of the two people I work with we get to make furniture for households and offices. this include beds, chairs, tables, office chairs and tables, wall units, computer tables, file holdwrs among others.Atleast every home has furniture in eay and every starting up family needs furniture for their home and thus creating a demand and market for my furniture works.I started this business cause I had passion for this art and decided to acquire skills in iti make a profit of between KES 15000-30000 ($167-333) and I spend between KES 40000-80000 ($444-888) I use the money to take care of my family and also save for future epansions.

Loan Proposal

If my loan is funded I wld use it to buy timber so I can make ready made furniture that I can sell to customers who come by.As per now I only make furniture as per orders given by clients but some customers would just want ready made furniture.This will increase my profit by at least 30%.Hope my loan will be funded.Thanks in advance.

Dear lenders,
As we are now approaching the December, we are expecting many customers to purchase furniture. This money will enable me to fully stock my workshop and pay my two workers on time to serve my customers better.
I hope you will consider me again as I promise to repay the loan in three month's time.
Thank you.

This adjustment will enable me to get another loan in time so as to start preparing ready made furniture targeting December holiday when sales will increase more than double.

Dear Zidisha fraternity, I have been trying to reach Ezekiel but all in vain as his mobile is always off. I have managed to reach his community leader this evening who told me that it is long time since he met with Ezekiel and therefore he is unable to give much details over him, but he assured me that he will followup to find out the reason why he is not repaying back and also why he always off and not reachable. i tried also few of his family members and none could take my calls, Lets hope that Richard his community leader will find his whereabouts soon.

Regards

DEAR LENDERS,
I decided to add in more stock of timber using the little profit at hand but in the next two weeks I will be able to re-adjust my repayment schedule
