About Me

My name is Caroline .i was born and raised in Central region of kenya The cash crop grown in my area is tea.I was fortunate to grow up and i started my primary education,secondary and college.From there i got emproyed in several establishment before this farming and agriculture passion was born in me.I am a go getter and i believe i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

My Business

I started off as a farmer with just two cows but up to now the zidisha have really helped me to become more established I currently have four cows. As I continue with farming I realised that I was getting more milk and therefore I started baking cakes and cookies with the remain ing milk,so far the demand has increased and I am baking a lot of cakes supplying them to the neighborhood and I hope very soon I will be able to save enough and start up a Country bakery where I will create jobs opportunity ,that will change the lives of the less fortunate and physically challenge d in the society. Thankyou zidisha I accredit all this success to you. Thankyou my lenders I hope you will continue supporting me .God Bless you.

Loan Proposal

Thankyou my lender so far I have come ,very far am going,I intend to buy more food stock for my shop especially ,the ones that I use for baking which is doing good so far.I will be soon grateful once i get this loan which will enable me to own a Bakery which I will employ more people esp women and the physically challenge d in the society as a way of giving back .Thanks Zidisha Thanks ,Thanks my lenders.

Income Source

True many businesses have been affected by Corona virus ,but people in food and beverage area have not been hard beaten coz people have to eat and drink on daily bases.So with enough stock I am able to pay the loan and provide for my family.

    Caroline - sorry to hear your sales have been effected by the pandemic. Probably best NOT to borrow more money (top up loan) to pay off the outstanding loan, especially as you fall behind. Hopefully you can adjust the repayment plan to allow the time for you to focus on increasing sales again. Best, Erik

    Kindly allow me to Adjust the install ment because we are hard hit by this pandemic.I have to take this step even if my wish was to repay the loan as quick as possible and to apply again I believe it's a matter of time things get better and life continues as it was before.
