About Me

My names are Beatrice Odhiambo I am 55 years old, Born in Nyanza province.I am the firstborn of the six children in our family. I am married and also blessed with six children. My first four children are already married while the last two are in college and high school respectively.
I was educated up to the old primary school level after I got married and also fortunately by the grace of God I became an ECD teacher I also in 2012 started The business which has really helped me and my family a lot.

I also have a Barbers shop where we cut men's heirs and salon for women heir styling at all seasons. This was begun latter after the first business was launched.

My Business

My business is salon business and ECD school,located at Tiri Mbili estate Eldoret Town.I started the business in the year 2012 and 2014 respectively with a capital of US Dollars 280 and us dollars 300.
My monthly cost of running the business is US Dollars 600 while average Gross profit before the expenses is usually approximately US Dollars 500.
The following is how I normally use profits from the business :-
10% I give tithe to the church
70% Up keep i.e food and rent
5% Savings
15% I support my aged mother and two siblings

Loan Proposal

When am given this loan amount Am 'applying for now then I will be able to buy 40 classroom Desks for my students or pupils to sit on at 10 US Dollars per each and this will be a total of 400 US dollars.and in case it goes higher then I will be able to add more money from my own pocket.
This give more space to admit more students or pupils in my class and off cause I will get more money from School fees.
This also will benefit the local community from getting the School just near by the neighborhood without walking long distance or using fare going to School .
If this plan is implemented then I expect this business to grow by 50% from now onward and in the next few month it will be more .

    New computer for my online tutorial business.
    It help in that I will cover many students of my own institution and even outside my own institution thus giving me a lot of profit for myself and the family and the people around me.
    Thank you so much for trusting me again and lend me this loan amount.
    God bless you and God bless Zidiosha

    The last loan which I was given was used to add more class room eg iron sheets and cement for renovation of class rooms.
    I made a big different in my business in that now we have a very large space for pupils to sit and have conducive environment.


    my earning has increased from 600 dollars to 700 dollars per month.

    I have used the earning to educate my son and daughters to high schools and the universities since am a widow.

    Zidisha hass really helped me to achieve many of my goal financially since my last born son is only two years to complete the university studies..and also last year when I lost my Fourth born Son Iwas not badly off because I had some income thrugh this Zidisha.

    My home is on top of the hills of Maill inne and I do enjoy sitting and enjoying the cool breeze in the evening and more on the weekend .

    for now now I dont have a photo yet but in future I will remember.
