About Me

I am a twenty three year old Kenyan citizen. I come from a family of three girls and I'm the last born. My two sisters, twins, Pauline and Wangari,are twenty eight years old.

I am a model and events organizer. I work under tru blaq entertainment and also I manage my own events during the weekends. Apart from that, I am a fashion designer and currently running my shop whereby I deal mostly with female clothes.
I hold a certificate in customer service training, diploma in fashion and design, and currently pursuing a degree on the same on part time basis.
I decided to start my own fashion and design shop after seeing the loophole n the business.Mostly target lades between the age of 12 to 35, though also any age over or below the limit also is catered for.
I purchase clothes from a variety of markets and also I have two tailors that I have employed to cater for designs that suit our customers needs.

My Business

I am involved in three jobs at the same time. Modelling, tru blaq entertainment and my fashion's and design shop by the name Ree Anne's Clothing Line.
As I mentioned earlier, I deal with female clothes. There is high demand for my clothes as I come up with the latest and trendy clothing line hence I have a wide customer base. I started my business after getting capital from my savings from my two other current jobs, that is, at Tru blaq entertainment and Nairobi Modelling Agency.
My customers are indeed loyal to me because i deliver as promised and produce the best clothing line n Nairobi. I have a vision that in the next two to five years, my fashion and design shops will be everywhere in my country Kenya.
with my three jobs, repaying my loan will be very convenient and I hope that i will grow with Zidisha.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lender, I am grateful for your continued support. I have just secured an order to make "Vitenges" which are basically African clothes especially those worn by people from West Africa, Nigeria.
I will use the loan to purchase the materials needed which include the fabric used to make them at Ksh. 10,000.
Ksh. 2000 will purchase needles and some ribbons.
Ksh. 3000 will be used to purchase lining fabric and the rremaining Ksh .2000 will be used to purchase ready made fabrics that are normally placed on the shoulders to blend with the kitenge. (Plural "Vitenge" and singular "Kitenge"

    Dear Lenders,
    Maryanne is set to resume repaying his loan. She had been off business for a while due to some personal reasons but now she is back and ready to continue working with you. She has promised me that there will not be a repeat of the same.

    Regards,

    Dear Lenders,
    I highly apologise for missing my two repayments. I was out of business for a while and given bed rest by my doctor. I have actually resumed work this week, having been allowed by the doctor. I am now well and ready to be back on business. I have opted to reschedule the repayment to enable me get back on track with my repayment.
    I will send the repayments as usual, if not earlier than the schedule.
    Thanks.
    Maryanne Karaba

    Hello Maryanne,

    I wish you and your family all the best. I sent a small donation to the campaign and if you want to send me pictures of your designs by email, I'd like that, but if it's too much trouble, don't worry about it. I like the pictures of the clothes you posted in the fall and I hope your business continues to do well. Sometimes it takes a while for Zidisha to process the payments.

    Maryanne,

    I hope everything is going OK with you and your business. Please give us some news.

    Since you missed your Feb. 1st repayment, I would recommend that you reschedule your loan so as not to get a negative rating (which the system automatically dishes out).

    Best of luck,
    Cris

      Dear Cris and all lenders,
      There was a misunderstanding as I always repay on time. It seems Zidisha delayed in posting my repayment on time.
      I am doing very well, and currently working on some new designs. I have been quite busy as also I am trying to catch potential customers and grow my business more.

      Best,
      Maryanne

    Dear Lenders,
    My cheque has matured. Luckily also, I have been given a downpayment for an order hence increasing the cash at hand. I will repay fully the first loan as now I anticipate even to grow my business further. I have seen tremendous improvement since I joined Zidisha and no matter the loan size I first got, am happy to report of the significant impact it had on my business and life.
    Thanks for being part of me my dear lenders. May we grow together.

    Regards,
    Maryanne Karaba

    I am already in possession of a cheque and I am to bank it by the end of this week, latest by Friday then I wait for it to mature after which I will repay my loan. Thank you for the assistance and I look forward to working with you more and more.

    Dear Lenders,
    I have rescheduled my loan today. This is because I was to receive cash as payment from an organisation I had sold to them my designs. Unfortunately, they advised me that I am to receive the cash end this month .Please bear with me and immediately I get the cash I will repay in full. Thanks.
