About Me

Hi Lenders,

Josiah here, born and bred in a small Town in the North of Kenya. I'm the last born in a family of five. I come from a humble background and that inspired me to strive and achieve bigger and better things in life. Being a serial entrepreneur, I started off my first business at the age of 14, it was a farm produce delivery business that was facilitated using my Dad's bicycle. Though the business was quite profitable it affected my studies and had to quit and focus on my studies.

After high school, I developed an interest in online work and used to do freelance data entry and writing work for a friend who had a freelance account with Upwork. After trying different freelance jobs I found my sweet spot with writing. Over the past 4-years I've been exclusively offering my services in Content Mills platforms such as iWriter and more recently on Fiverr and Upwork.

My Business

My freelance work has been producing sufficient income for myself and my family BUT my objective has always been creating employment for my peers. MY GOAL is to establish an INDEPENDENT CONTENT CREATION AGENCY and offer employment opportunities for my fellow peers.

My PURPOSE for the loan is to help set up the necessary system I'll need to make my dream a reality; such as website, creating a training module and registering the business. This financing will go a long way in helping me realize a lifelong dream of empowering fellow youth to embrace self-employment through freelance work.

Loan Proposal

I'm planning to use the loan towards creating a Website for my upcoming Content Creation Agency. This will help me transform from depending on content mills to being an independent contractor while providing employment to my peers. This approach will QUADRUPLE my income over the next 3-6 months.

    I used my previous loan to add an additional employee to my freelance writing agency team which resulted in a 30% increase in revenue.

    My freelance business has suffered a slow period hence the need to readjust the repayment amount to match the current circumstances. Thanks for your understanding.

      Hi Mary, I'm really sorry that you had this experience with your eighth loan.

      However, I've checked your profile and the status of your loan and it clearly reflects what the expected amount was $1240 - I've done some quick calculations and actually found that your total deductions was supposed to be $186 (10%*1240+5%*1240) and your expected disbursement amount was to be $1054 ($1240-$186). Looking at the numbers there is certainly an issue that needs to be looked at.

      My advice to you would be to:

      1. Contact Zidisha Support Staff through the Support Ticket/Help page on your profile

      2. Post your message on the Forum (Borrower's Questions)

      3. Call your Volunteer Mentor and have him take up the issue.

      All the very best Mary, am hoping for a speedy resolution to your issue.
