About Me

i am a 49 year old Gentleman ,employed in a fast moving consumer Goods company based in Nairobi. I have a monthly salary and hence with proper planning i will be able to make my loan repayments.

My Business

Currently with the Pandemic still a big part of our daily lives, My side business has suffered greatly . Business is yet to come back to normal and hence the necessity to return to employment while life normalizes.

Project Proposal

Am considering registering a company to do courier business. This will involve me getting the necessary documents drawn up by a lawyer and filed at the registrar of business. It will also cost me for business permits and the required rates before i can even become operational. i may need slightly more than i qualify for at Zidisha but i pray i will get funded

    Want to pay Kshs 17,000 by 3rd May which will be more or less within my previous payment schedule. My client has delayed with payment forcing me to use other alternatives

    Thank you my backers. Am going to invest in some cartridges 5 pieces and have them delivered to my clients office premises, by a motorbike rider to Westlands. immediately i receive the funds. Then i will follow up later for my payment and i will make a small profit. The balance of the funds will go to pay my Insurance at APA which is due .

    Thank you for your continued support my Backers. Last project went well, though i did not make as much money as i anticipated earlier due to some hidden costs. However, i did not lose money too and i gained some new learnings

    Thank you members for funding my loan. I will embark immediately on purchase of personal care products and invest in transporting them to Rwanda . This will give me a margin and allow me to repay my Loan. Thank you all once again for the opportunity

    My Dear Backers. Thank you for your continuous support. I have received an order and request funding to source materials and deliver it in full. The client promises to complete payment in instalments up to 3 months. i have staggered the repayment period so as not to strain too much on my financials and working capital.

    I managed to book and take vehicle for inspection upon which some recommendations were done that will need me to raise some more funds so as to complete

    My last project was for upgrading my laptop's RAM . it was successfully done thanks to Zidisha and all my backers. This meant that i no longer needed to replace my laptop. i was able to repay back the money. Thank you all again

    i will upgrade my laptop from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM to allow me to continue using my old laptop instead of investing in a new one. Thanks for you role in this endeavour

    the Last loan i took facilitated my business travel from Kampala Uganda to Nairobi Kenya. It covered about 40% of the expenses and i had to raise the balance. I am grateful to Zidisha for being able to meet my shortfall

    I had taken a loan to buy a car battery but i found that the prices had increased and i would have to dig in deeper to afford one. i repaid the loan hoping to source funds elsewhere.
