About Me

Am Jane Wanjiru Born 23years ago, married and with one Kid, a daughter. i grew up in ghetto where basic amenities like toilets water and houses was non existent. we lived in hut,. i went to school up to college level via scholarships since i could not afford it. when graduated with a diploma in hotel and catering i did not secure any employment and so i started blending juice for sale at least to help my husband in meeting family bills. i have been in the business for 8months now and i know the ground proper. my clientele base has increased progressively from shops around to hospitals schools and now recently social hall. so far am proud of the fact that apart from taking step towards my family bright future, i have 2 girls am supporting to raise food for their family. in future, i want to be a zidisha volunteer mentor and a lender too, to aid people with simple ideas be realize their goals.

My Business

i rent a blender and so i started blending juice for sale at least to help my husband in meeting family bills. i have been in the business for 8months now and i know the ground proper and its now my full time job. My clientele base has increased progressively from shops around to hospitals staffs, schools and now recently some staff at menengai social hall. I make an average profit of $230 per month which most goes to home bills and philanthropy, i now want to buy my own blending machine at $90 to cut on cost and $10 to add on my stock to meet the business needs. that is why am approaching the zidisha family to make my dream come true.

Loan Proposal

I have been lending an old blender to make the juice am selling and due to the increase demand i feel i need freedom of working full time other than wait for someone good time. that is why i need this loan urgently to buy at $90 and i new blender and $10 to add on stock. this will help me save the $10 that i lend the blender and maximize my output. this will make it possible to have $15 profit and help my two girls that am a guardian better.

    Indeed i know i must have painted a picture that i am not and i will pay this money in due time. my business have been struggling since the loan disbursement since i have had an ailing member of my family and what i make is not even enough to pay hospital bills. I know i will recover to thank my lender by paying back. i promise i will pay every coin i received . kindly bear with me.

    Hello my lenders. I feel like let you down for failing to involve you in this business sufficiently. Thank you for helping me with your $100 soft loan.. I did buy a juice blender for my business but i have encountered several challenges, than i anticipated and I know the future is huge. the profit am making has increased by mere $10 monthly and am doing my savings to establish a fresh Juice cafe to serve my customers from there instead of door to door.

    At the moment I cannot afford a holiday but i hope by the end of the year my business will reward me with one.
    My business has a huge future considering my catchment area has school a hospital and a social hall.

    Where hope would otherwise become hopelessness, it becomes faith with the zidisha family

    WHAT WE go through in life some times is so trying but like luther said, i accept finite disappointment, but i will never lose infinite hope.
