About Me

My Name is Gregory Kimani , am a young lad , brought up in a family of seven and the second born,i come from a middle class family in Africa and wish to become independent as i completed university education on April 2013 and graduated on December .I have all along been chipping in to help my parents sponsor my education throughout my education period into university through community work and through working during vacations , this has inspired me develop simple projects to sustain me in school always.In addition , i engage myself in income generating activities in order to meet the challenging life and that's why i started compiling articles related to my field of work (History) and then selling them to other institutions.Presently, i have embarked on agribusiness as i also study in school pursuing public policy and administration ,while studying i also engage in voluntary work where we are trained to educate the society on gender sensitivity,gender policy,gender based violence,drug and substance abuse.

My Business

Having completed university, i previously worked as a teacher under the board of governors in Muruaki Boys School at Nyandarua South District. There i had a teaching experience of both History and Swahili. Owing to students low self esteem i decided to engage on mentor-ship for high school students through their principals on careers, success, responsible living ,discipline and academic excellence at an affordable price. This helps the students to academically perform better than they were previously doing as well as raising their self esteem and hence impacting positively to the society where we have low levels of school drop outs ,students who have a hope and goals set.I am passionate public speaker and though i had few people to motivate me or act as role models, i decided that i was going to change the society by mentoring students in high school and lower schools.
Upon visiting a school, i request a sum of 30-40 dollars,as an appreciation fee and because it is not for commercial purposes. The profits received assist me in financing my postgraduate education which i undertake on a part-time basis.

Loan Proposal

With the new loan i intend to purchase building products , that is timber, iron sheets , and more so nails to put up a small house of about ten by fifteen feet, this will prepare me for a big investment ahead .In addition, the loan will lay a foundation for large scale poultry farming ,this is because it will propagate it's progress by building a little house which can later be expanded to accommodate a bigger number of poultry.

    I wish to state that i have not abandoned my obligation of paying back my loan neither have i any intents of defaulting. However, i am fixing issues(constraints) to do with my upkeep here in school and therefore the delay. I however promise to continue as as possible.

    Kindly allow me to pay to use the above installment as i have been having examinations since 14th Dec 2014 until the 21st of Dec. Therefore, due to the limited time i have had , it was therefore necessary that i concentrate o the examinations since they require more time . In this regard, i have no existing way of generating income but this is short lived as everything will be alright come January 2015. Thanks.

    I hereby wish to change my installment amount , this is because i purchased my Laptop on 21st November 2014. Consequently, i have not fully engaged in academic writing to be able to generate the installment amount . However, this may change with time when i fully settle in the above stated.
    Thank you. Gregory.

    Hi Gregory,
    Your write up confused me as to the purpose of this loan you are requesting. First you say: " would wish to use the loan plus my personal savings to acquire a higher Epson printer that will enable me earn partime income while I work at evenings" but in your loan proposal you state " With the new loan i wish to purchase 60 chickens at approximately $ 4 each which will approximately amount to around $ 240."
    Could you please clarify your intent.
    Thank you.

      The one concerning Epson was of the previous second loan, approximately $155. That did not succeed as the printer was approximately $500. I instead constructed a poultry house where i wish to bring up poultry which was a bit easy and which is the project i hope will be funded.Thank you for your concern for i have now known how my earlier write up contradicts the second write up .
