About Me
.Born in Gatundu,Kiambu county ,Kenya.
I went to Ikuma primary school where I worked hard to get 380/500 marks in my final exams.
I grew up from a humble backgroung and have learnt a lot.
I have grown learning the Gikuyu tradition and as a Christian.
From Primary school,I joined Muhoho Boys High School.This is where I developed leadership skills and became the Chairman of maths Club and the treasurer of the debates Club.In my final Examination I score grade A -(minus).
After that I joined The Technical University of Kenya to pursue Btech.Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
I am in my last year here in Campus
My Business
When I joined University through Government sponsorship program,I was given a loan known as Helb loan.The loan is given to university and college students to help them pay fees.But in my first year when I got my first loan I used the loan to start small business of sausage selling.
I bought one jiko and bought some few packets of sausages as the starting stock.Now I have been able to buy other two jikos so I have employed 3 persons since I am still in school. I also started kale farming and chicken keeping. This helps me to earn good money when still studying
Loan Proposal
Hello lenders,First I would like to thank you for your continued support.
This time I come asking for your help as I want to expand a business I started with my last loan and that is chicken keeping and kale farming.
Taking advantage of my country's geographical location,Climatic conditions,Land availability and ready marked for agricultural goods,I have decided to concentrate on agribusiness and I know you'll help me achieve this dream.
HOW I WILL USE THE LOAN
Buy 20 chicken @5$ each.
Build chicken house @30$
Buy watering cans @20$
Labour @30$
Fertilizer,pesticide & others @25$
Total 205$
zidisha loan will cater for about 150$,And the rest I will add myself.
Repayment plan;
When acquiring a loan,the first thing I believe is to plan how to pay without defaulting,Since I expanded my smokies selling business using loans from zidisha and now its stable,I will be able to pay at least 10$ per week,which I can pay more in good times
Thank you lenders in advance.
