About Me

My name is William Okola, born 42 years ago in Suwinga village in Ugunja Division Ugunja District in Siaya County. I went to Suwinga Primary School, then proceed to Eldoret Secondary School. I am marriaed to Eunice Okola and God blessed us with four children, thus two boys and two girls. I had been involved in doing odd jobs, selling second hand clothes and other ready jobs like constructions etc. I came to start my business after working for a friend in his farm for one week and then see the need to start my business of selling second hand clothes for 15 years. I am now working as a taxi driver and driving a van that transport people from one place to another.

My Business

People can call me so that they can hire my van for transportation and looking forward to buy another van one day and expand my business. Getting money to buy a car is not easy but after saving for a period of time as enabled me to buy this van that am using now. I choose this business because it has been my dream since I was a young child. The life has been not that easy but I thank God that zidisha will help me to achieve my goals.

Project Proposal

I William I would love to request a loan that can enable me buy equipments for construction so that I can continue working without any challenges of building equipments. I would be much grateful when my request is accepted and the loan is given to me. This will be a great help so that my income can increase and be away of feeding my family and getting enough resources to enable me pay school fees and other things for the family. Thank you and appreciated. In regards, yours faithfully William Okola

    Dear Zidisha, I am paying my full loan today. The reason i have been not faithful paying my loan as i was before, because when i adjust to pay 200 per week or 100 per week you give me two/ weeks then you return back the heavy burden that I cannot afford so make me to be frustrated and not pay in time. I am sorry for that as well. I am requesting that after my completion of my loan payment, please refund my membership money due that I will not continue to borrow from zidisha. Zidisha is not helping anymore, instead they are taking from me and giving me more burden and paying the full amount that have not even received. Instead of growing my business is bringing me down. Anyway thank you for being there for us. May God bless you as you serve others here in Africa, Kenya.
