About Me

My name is Pamela Ochieng. I come from Kisumu county in Kenya. Iam the first born in a family of 7, all alive with our last born still attending school.I work on temporary contracts as a counselor and majorly run a handworks shop in Ahero 17 km from Kisumu. Am a single of mother of three who are all attending school, single by circumstance not choice. Am a born again Christian and I serve in church as a construction treasurer and service lead, besides I also serve in praise and worship team, doing what I love most, I.e singing, playing guitar and piano.

My Business

I make money out of handworks which involves but not limited to shaggy mats, soft carpets. duvets, pillows, beadworks and traditional baskets. I also offer consultancy as a counselor especially in HIV/AIDS and study coordination.

Project Proposal

In the last 2 months I have been trying to incorporate foodstuff to my carpet and house decor business, since it's a fast moving item. The result has been awesome and has given me a drive to continue with the cereals. Since I intend to supply schools with beans and maize , I need a dditional money to put into the same, and this is an opportunity for me to request for loan support in order to realise my goals in business

    Hello, may I kindly request for more time to complete my payment. My business has not been doing so well, as most supplies hiked prices of items and towards election there were no materials as most suppliers had closed their outlets until after elections. I hope to pick up by end of the month and complete my balances. Am sorry for the delay caused, but I promise to pay up.

    Hello,i have been sick the last 2 weeks and this has not allowed to be actively involved in my business activities. I kindly request for that adjustment so as to allow me pay back in good time and to allow my friends too to be funded in good time.

    Hello lenders. Its indeed a wonderful experience to have your support in my expanding business. Apart from my household decor business the money transfer agency is doing so well. With the additional money I put in my float I was able to serve quite a number of clients, thereby increasing my commission. This will help me build more and more as I plough back profits and also get additional loans

    Hello lenders am so greatful for your continued support. I was able to restart money transfer urgency with the previous loan and its doing so well. With more float in my mpesa urgency I can do better, and for this reason I request for the above amount.

    Thanks so much everyone who supported me through this. I was able to begin again my money transfer agency. It helped me so much, though I had a challenge when I lost my brother but all is now well and I trust I will complete my loan repayment in time. Thanks so much.

    Hello everyone, happy new year. Its indeed a new year for me. My stock greatly increased during the festive season. I had increased stock turn over and the profit I made I have saved since o wanted to expand to money transfer urgency which I was once doug before I lost my job and covid set in. I already made a structure for mpesa and all I need is a top up on my savings to have a good amount for the float. As my clothing business goes on the money I get before buying more products can circulate in the mpesa .

    I was previously supposed to pay 1000 per week but when I lost my attendant and being moved to a new place due to structure demolition, I experienced low sales but now am picking up and can comfortably pay 250 per week for the remaining loan.

    Hallo team, I appreciate your patience with me until now, I have 1000 that I would like to pay and request that my shedule be adjusted to 1000 per week as opposed to the previous 3978 all at once. Please I beg. Thanks and am very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    Thank you so much my lenders , you have been of great support to me, my business has expanded and am able to reach a wider market, besides, my customers are always satistified with the timely supply of commodities. We had planned demolitions of stalls in Ahero and so I had to relocate to a safer place, this disoriented me as some of my customers could not pay up in good time and I also had to use resources to solve this challenge. Am currently doing well and hope to continue with Zidisha.
