About Me

Hello Lenders!

My Names are Mercy Muthoni, I am 27 years old, married with two children.I am a Business Administrator by profession. I worked as an Administrator for a few years and then decided to Join my Husband and help him run his online business.

After graduating from college, I wanted to be a Gospel Musician but my husband could not afford production fee charged by the leading music labels in Kenya.So, I decided to look for a job and shelved the dream of becoming a musician.I worked for a few years and then my husband asked me to resign from the Job and assist him in his online business which had started growing gradually.Today we are great partners and the business is running smoothly.

In future, I want to revive my Music career and record the songs I had already written.I also aspire to spend my free time as a volleyball coach in a local club as I am good at the game.

Thanks
Mercy

    If your loan doesn’t fund, I encourage you to try again! Sometimes this happens when there are many good loans on Zidisha. Good luck!

    I have talked to my ca explain to her the importance of not skipping any repayment installment and she understood very well and promised that she's going to re-adjust the repayment installment and then over to the new schedule that she will have kept

    Mercy Muthoni said she had a hard time with the family and she could not make repayments as planned. However she will resume repayments soon.

    Have to say I am very disappointed to see so little being repaid on this loan. Repayments are only 20% of what was initially promised.
    Expected completion is now 2048 which is more than a little ridiculous.
    I have funded several of your loans in the past but would have to seriously consider any future requests

    • Mercy    Nov 1, 2018

      Hello, Catherine, Please don't get disappointed. We will pay the loan in full.I have adjusted back to the promised amount.

    Hi Mercy. I have a concern. My loan was fully funded last Sunday- 27th August and I accepted the loan on Monday 28th August. I was informed the loan would be sent to my MPESA by 2nd September. I have not received it yet. From my records, you are my mentor...Pls follow up on my behalf & advise on the status. Thanks.
