About Me

I was born back 1951 educated up to primary level. After school I was taken to a village polytechnic where I was trained how to make clothes. I am a father of 10 children 4girls and 6boys. After completing my course i was not in a position of starting a business direct so i involved myself in casual work to support myself.
The life was not all that easy but i managed it.

My Business

From polytechnic I managed to start my own business after a long struggle which I am going on with to date. I do make all design as far as the men and women clothes are concern. People used to come from far because of my good job. because of the knowledge I received from my teachers people liked my work for I am the best tailor in my area. This course help me for what I get from my work supports my family and doing some other activities as far as the life is concern.

Loan Proposal

When I receive the loan, I will buy the suit material worthy kshs 30,000 approximate 350 dollars, women clothes worthy kshs 5,000 approximate 57 dollars and the rest remaining money ,I will buy accessories for my business.
By buying these items, I will get a profit of at least 80% and this will improve my business of which will also help me pay the loan in a good time.

I do thank all who participated in my loan which helped my family through my business. I managed to buy a good sewing machine which I am using now and from what I got from the business supported my son and after doing the form four exam, he will be among those who will be joining the university.

Due to business going down, I would like to inform the lenders that I would not be in a position of paying my loan in March 2013 as per my promise. Because my customers taking their children back to school the business is a little bit down. Also I have two boys who is joining the secondary school form one and they need a lot of money for school fees. Bear with me for this time and i will be in a position of paying the remaining amount in a good time.

I am going on with my sewing work and there is a great improvement since I got the loan from Zidisha.
To my lenders, I am very sorry for not sending the money yesterday as agreed but this was because it was on a Sunday and I forget to bank the money in my M-Pesa account until today where by now I have sent the first installment.
Please next time I will pay in the right time.
