About Me

Iam Cypian Lwandiango Shikokoti married to Robai Minayo with six children named as follows, Francis Shikokoti, Stanley Mugalavai, Cynthia Vwamula, Snaida Khiyon, Ruth Khabei Blessing Zion. I come from Vihiga County, Hamisi Sub-County, Shamakhokho Location, Kisasi sub-location, Kamnono Village. I attended school at Erusui primary and latter joined Kaimosi boys seconary. I would like to request for a loan to expand on my business.I was first employed as a security guard at BM security but after i received Geods calling i decided to move to my current place where am spreading the word of God.My church have very creative members who are likely to join the zidisha group if only they can see me receiving the applied cash.I hope you will help me to jump start my business and i will be the role model in this part of the word.

My Business

I Started business in 1998 up to date as a small scale businessman in cloth selling. Due to lack of finances, I have been passing through challenges but all in all I have managed to survive. The uniqueness about our land is rocky. My children would like to be well up in their future life.As you know or as you may know,here in kenya business pays more than even farming.I therefor wish to make my ties with you even stronger so that it can reach a time when i can qualify for 1000000 KES which will enable me to buy a vehicle which I can easily to my business without the problem on how to transport my merchandise from one market to another.I thank God that He has tought me to be obedient hence i can promise to be very faithful to you and the entire organization.Be blessed and I pray you give me this loan Shalom.
Clear Business Proposal
I deal with various projects. Apart from being a teacher of the word of God, I do small businesses like selling clothes and a school for the orphans.
I sell clothes worth Ksh 20,000 equal to 200 US dollars. I therefore need the loan to expand the business in the way:
1. Ladies clothes worth Ksh. 10,000.
2. Children’s clothes worth Ksh. 5,000.
3. Men’s wear worth Ksh. 5,000.
If granted I will multiply each item by atleast two to three times.
The school is under financial strains since it supports orphans and less fortunate/privilladged in the community. The school needs the following items that we don’t have:
1. Infrastructure i.e. we use rental houses and we need to pay rent. We pay Ksh.2,000 for rent per month equvalent to 20US dollars.
2. The teachers need to be paid and each teacfer gets Ksh. 2,500 equal to 25 US dollars. We have a total of two teachers.
3. The school text books for each subject and each class. The books range between Ksh. 250 and Ksh. 800. The subjects taught are Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, Science, CRE and Social studies. So far eachclass, we need approximately Ksh. 10,000 equivalet to 100 US dollars.
4. Lunch programme since most learners are orphans and less privilladged. We provide break tea and lunch. In a day we spend Ksh. 500 equivalent to 50 US dollars twice a month, we provide the leaners with foodstuffs to take home.
Therefore, I request you to kindly grant me the loan since thje project that I get from sale of clothes in what keeps the school and the church running. I therfore need to expand the clothes bussines and enable the school to also stand on its own.
Somethig Interesting or Memorable
A SCHOOL TO SUPPORT ORPHANS
I have started a school to support orphans and the less fortunate in the community. The school runs from baby class to Nursery. It is situiatd in Serem Sub-location, Shamakhokho location, Hamisi district in Vihiga County. Currently it has a total of 50 pupils. The name of the school is El-shaddai ECD.
The main problem we have is financial starins since most learners don’t pay, w hav a difficult time in paying our teachers, providing the necessary requirements for the learners including feeding programme. I have a total of 2 teachers and getting a salary of Ksh 2500. We lack text books and infrastructure like enough desks. Some of our learners need support at home and so we offer food supplements to them.
Sometimes when the community supports us with the material things like clothes, we give those that totally don’t have.

Loan Proposal

I may have spoken more words describing what i will do with this money if given and i still can repeat by saying that in the event am granted the first amount of money i will boost my business by buying some more cloths to add up on what i already have.this being the month when people in our country buys cloths more than any other season,i believe i will make a lot of money and eventually repay this loan without any problem.I also want to let you know that in my area i will be your ambassador.Many people who will here of you will most likely wish to associate with you for a better future.Let me pray that this is not just another dream but a dream come true.God bless you and am waiting to here from you.

    I hereby, by grace of God do apologize of being indebted to your loan. I couldn't make it to clear the loan as we had agreed in the loan agreement due to unavoidable circumstances. I lost my father on 10/2/2017, in the process of funeral arrangements to burry my father, bandits broke to the room where I used to store my business clothings and stole everything. Initially, I had informed the Zidisha group about the problem but up to date I haven't managed to repay the loan back. I'm very sorry to have delayed but I'm still making plans on how to resume paying. My vision is to clear the loan effectively to enable you to help me more so that I can fulfill my goals. I hereby kindly by the grace of God do request you to top up with another loan of 25000/=Kenya shillings which is equivalent to 25 USA dollars.

    I thank you in advance. God bless you all my lenders.
    Regards Cyprian.

    I first congratulate all my lenders for their supportive efforts they have shown towards me to support me to enhance my business. First and foremost I was buying just few clothes which I used to walk with them as a hawker but now I have a small shop for clothes as you may see in my profile photos. Thank you my lenders and I hope if you give me the next loan, I'll make great achievement. My children can go to school now. My life has increased with almost a half by what I was before I joined Zidisha. I'm now thinking that you give me the next loan and by the end of it I will be able to support my orphanage school. I wish you give me a loan worth 60,000 KES. Thanks in advance

    Praise God.I hope you are all fine. I am very sorry I applied for aloan earlier before but you know I am a servant of God so when the loan was fully funded I was out from home for misionary work and where I was there was no network and I could not be able to access to my computer and that was why I was not able to accept my loan in time. therefore please I humbly request you to fund me. Thank you and God bless you all.

    I return my congratulations to Taylor, Craig, Ashley, Noelle and Paul Graham for their kind sponsorship of my business. I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and if I am supported that way for about three times, then every project I am running will be standing on its own. Congrates brethren and keep up.
    Yours faithfully,
    Cyprian L. Shikokoti

    Comment to Lenders
    (Acts 10: 1-14). In verse 3 says, about the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just came in and said to Cornelius, “your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.” It was by the spirit of helping the needy Jews that provoked God to send an angel to Cornelius with a report of blessing. (2 Chronicles 15: 7) says, “But you, be strong and do not lose courage for there is a reward for your work.”
    Therefore my brothers and sisters who lend us to support our businesses God has made you as a major stepping-stone for spreading the Good news to other capital cities and nations and God shall reward you for partaking in His work. You can not do well now if you don’t have faith in future rewards. I am praying for all lenders Almighty God continues, protect, protect, keep and to bless you exceedingly above measure. Amen.
