About Me

I am married and blessed with two children who are in primary school in the community. My wife operates a beauty shop.

I have successfully completed my high school education then acquired vocational training training on waste management.

I run a waste management business whereby I collect , sort and recycle the household waste on daily basis.

My proceeds is used for the upkeep and savings to expand the business to accommodate high demand of customers hence in the long run I will create employment for more local young people.

My Business

My business is located in Githurai Progressive hence it involves collecting, sorting and recycling household waste on daily basis.

I am the only provider of waste management services in the community hence high demand but to ensure customer's demand is satisfied, I provide them with garbage paper bags and also ensure good relationship with the customers.

My business faces challenge of sorting & recycling thus I intend to expand the above activities to ensure customer's satisfaction is meet.

My monthly average revenue is approximately Kshs 90 000 and the average monthly cost is Kshs 77 000 hence my monthly average profit is approximately Kshs 13 000.

Loan Proposal

Am grateful to Zidisha community for financial and moral support towards my waste management business as it has grown in the past few months whereby am serving more clients with the local community thus the quantity of waste being collected then recycled has increased. I have a lot of plastic containers which has been collected and stored during the weekly waste management thus I kindly request zidisha community to support with the purchase of plastic cutting machine which cost $ 405 and I have managed to save $ 102 and now invite zidisha members to lend me the remaining money. The plastic cutting machine will be used to cut the plastic containers into small sizes for easy molding to create toys, pegs and sweeping brooms handles. The above items are then locally sold thus increasing the profit and also diversifying the nature of my business. This business will also create employment to the local young people thus reducing unemployment among the local people. Please consider supporting my business for greener community.
