About Me

My name is Joseph Kinyanjui,a form four and an IT certificate holder. am 26 years old living in kayole estate a long Naivasha Nairobi Highway.Am a sales man doing my own job of secondhand cloths from Gikomba at Nairobi where i buy at lower at afforderble price,I like the job because my product is of high quality and its a fast moving. Am married and my wife works in Salon. I will be much happie if this loan through coz i know that it will help me alot.

My Business

Apart from cloths i also do some photography in schools, lake shows and in town.i also do custom creation and signs. The advantage in my product is that secondhand cloths is something unique,cheap and people like. I also give them my customers door to door sales services which most prefer. The business is profitable but it has some risks,e.g, if you don't have a big stock and have a lot of debts from customers. My profit as per month is approximately ksh 8000. Through photography income i can be able to repay the loan or alternatively my wife can help me raise the amount needed in order to repay the loan. I like my job because when i go to the field there's little competition compared to other jobs.If Zidisha will help me with a loan i will be glad and at the same time i will add my stock.

Loan Proposal

When I get this loan,it will help me improve on my Custom creation project in the following ways;,buying of cloths estimated at 30 dollars,buying of digital camera and paying for business extensions at the balance of 20 dollars.Despite the fact that I still have deficit of about 40 dollars for improved andcomputer services for my business am happy that through this small loan I will be able to see some of the followings the returns the loan will create; improved digital camera that will help me get a bigger and better market since the photos are in good quality,the expected benefit is likely to shoot up especially when they are a good season which will see me making almost double the input.The returns will then help expand mybusiness by increasing the number of computer and also employ a few people.
I should supported because I can't afford single handedly to meet full financial requirements of the farm due to the increased costs of farm inputs like cloths , cameras and paying my worker this is attributed to the high standard of living in my country especially around Naivasha where I run my cloth selling photographier and graphic design.

    Dear Lenders,
    I talked to Joseph again and at a lengthy time, he tried to explain the hardships he encountered. I asked him to login and reschedule the loan which at first was problematic due to forgoten password. He promised to pay by the end of the week

        Hi Joseph,
        I am not exactly sure of what you are referring to, but I expect it is the increase in fees which has to do with the new "Members Loan Fund deposit"

        Information on the Members Loan Fund deposit can be found here...

        forum.zidisha.org/threads/i...

        The other change to the loan fund contribution is that it is no longer a "fee" but a "deposit", which means that it is refundable if your loan has been fully repaid.

        Hope this helps
        All the best
        Michael

    “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
    That why i choose this job.
    Thank you my lender.

    I don't have to take a trip around the world or be on a yacht in the Mediterranean to have happiness. I can find it in the little things, like looking out into my backyard and seeing deer in the fields of Zidisha Lenders.
    Am glad to have received this loan of Ksh 4379.
    Thank you so much.

    Dear lender, I spoke to Joseph today and he said he lost a relative and he had traveled away from his work station. He is now back and he will clear his unpaid installments on coming Sunday. Thank you for your patience.

    Hi Joseph,
    I notice that you have just started to slip behind...
    If you are having trouble with the repayments, you may wish to formally reschedule them in order to protect your On-Time Repayment score, which will be critical should you require to borrow in future.
    I hope that all is well.
