About Me

Hello,
My name is vitalice onyango. I'm 40 years and I'm a carpenter by profession. I was born in Siay a district in Kenya. My childhood days were spent looking after my fathers cattle, which was the livelihood of our large family of 8 siblings.
I trained as a carpenter, a trade which was the only option after failing to get school fees to continue with education. I came to Nairobi some 10 years ago and a friend of mine introduced me to his local way of work, we have been doping simple repairs in the local area of Mathare North area 2 since.
However, I have children in school, the little jobs we do and the strains in the economy has pushed me to think of how to get money to open my workshop. I will be happy if you could help fund my workshop project.
As a born again https://www.sportpesa.com/#, when I have no work at the workshop, I spend most of my time in the church at the Jesus winner ministry where I like sharing the word of God.

My Business

Workshop in the area of Mathare area 2
The nature of the intended project is to open a workshop where my friend and I would work at ease without the need to go round searching for clients. I will buy a surface planner and a lathe machine to help with wood work.
At the moment, the projected cost of the project is at Ksh-150,000 which will be enough to buy the two machines. on atypical month, the cost of purchasing other supplies will include another Ksh-30,000 and the rental cost will take Ksh-5,000 per month.
I spend Ksh-4500 as the rental cost for my house where I reside with my children. the school fees usually takes Ksh-150,000 per year.

Loan Proposal

to add more stock in my workshop so that my customers my have conducive time upon my workshop, to have so many ready items in my farm, so that i may compute with my competitors in the current business.to increase my profit by atleat 40%.

      Hi Vitalice Charles,
      We have not had the opportunity to provide feedback because the loan is still showing on the site as 74% repaid. Sounds like some sort of mix up is happening. Perhaps you should create a support ticket with Zidisha to get to the bottom of things. Best of luck! -Kelly
