About Me

i am a born 1976 male kenyan. i was born in a family of four in oneno nam village ,east songhor sub location,tam location,,chemelil sub county of kisumu county.i went to oneno nam primary school ,chulaimbo high school for my o levels and african institute of research and development kisumu for a diploma in social work.iam currently pursuing a degree in project work at busia extra mural center of which am in my final year final semester ending february 2017.after diploma course in college i started looking for work and after along search i was lucky to be hired by a research organisation in busia. with time i realized that if i want to progress then i must be willing to go an extra mile.this made to enroll for the degree program.however,the scarcity of resources to fund this program me led me to start a small retail business. i have been running it for about two years.it contributes to paying my daily expenses well as helping me pay my school fees as well as for my children.At times i have to assist my ailing brother who have heart problems.

My Business

i started a small retail shop with myself standing in or my spouse whenever i was at work.it has picked up well since i just started by selling a few items but the range of goods has since doubled.i sell goods such like groundnuts, beans and other cereals.most people prefer buying from my store since my scales are accurate and the prices are fair since ideal directly with wholesale suppliers.i sell about 700 dollars worth of goods in a month, i spent a bout 1000 dollars to repurchase new stock.in a good month i make up-to 1000 dollars as profit.

Loan Proposal

following constant passion for business and commitment of my work towards being a full time entreprenuer,i would like to try expand my business by including compliment food items which seemingly are being on demand at my grocery.People do ask for the food stuff but due to financial constrains ,i have not been able to bring them in.If i will be considered for further funding by Zidisha,i promise to do more inventory purchases of which will enable be to earn in average $200.This will put me in a better position to create an impact in my life and my family while propelling me to serve the community by offering best sevices to them.

    Hi, Could you please bring me to speed how you operate this time round in awarding people there next loan based on percentage of repayment. I took a loan of late of which from your end, it seems I have like three to four months grace period to pay ending between June 22nd-june 29th.this is when I maintain the good credit rating. I was surprised when I was sent a text message notifying me once am not done with the whole repayment by end of business date may 22nd,then I will be in bad books, C. R. Bureaue. I wonder why such decision was arrived at, for if it is so, then it contradict your terms. May I beg clarification from you before late.

    Hi Donald,
    I see you have missed your loan payment for this large amount. Please make an effort to repay, a small payment is better than none at all to keep your repayment percentage high for future loans. With Zidisha you can grow you business to the next level, do not throw this opportunity away. Margaret

      Hello, Donald.

      This is a location for communicating with your lenders, not with Zidisha's Staff (www.zidisha.org/team).

      The Discussion pages (and the Forum) are PUBLIC pages; and although the Staff sometimes may visit and even occasionally post on Discussion pages, (or in the Forum), that doesn't happen on a regular basis.

      For future reference:
      Please *never* post personal information (such as phone numbers, email addresses, physical address, National Id. Number, images of your National Id. Card, etc.) on any public pages on the Internet.

      To reach the Staff, please send them a private message through the HELP link in your account (if it is an account-specific question pertaining to disbursement not yet received or repayment not yet credited, for example).

      If it is a general-policy question, though, please post in the Forum, in the "Borrower Questions" section, where any member of the Zidisha community maybe will reply. (Please note that "Community Moderators" in the Forum, who also possibly may reply, are *not* Staff members.)

      In addition to this, I would recommend reading the FAQs (www.zidisha.org/faq) and the Announcements section of the Forum (www.zidisha.org/forums/4) for information.

      I know it can be frustrating, but please keep in mind that Zidisha has hundreds of thousands of members (borrowers and lenders) but currently only two (2) people on the Staff.

      Kind regards,
      Laurie

        Donald,

        I realize your issue already may have been resolved for you; I've posted here anyway, though, for anyone else reading who may not yet know the information.

        Best wishes,
        Laurie
