About Me

I am Caroline Nanzala, I was born in Nakuru County. My first school was St Marys Girls primary school and I did my KCPE and Iater enrolled in Menengai Secondary School which I did my O' level.
Later I stayed at home looking for a job which was not easy to find and through some family members contribution i managed to start small business of selling vegetables, tomatoes, onions, watermelon , bananas,potatoes (Kiosk) at Langa Langa area. This small scale business ha s been able to sustain me and my family this far.Since there was a heavy infux of refugees to this city Nakuru the increased population has also increased my customers so far.

During the post election violence the kioks was robbed and burned of which made go back home and stayed without any income. Later my uncle came and took me to work for him. I depended on him for sometimes till i managed to raise some money enable me start

My Business

As i have already mentioned i hereby wish to state that as a small scale business lady involved in selling CDs,DVDs Earphones and Ink cartridges my business has seen immense growth over the last few months,thanks to increased population and scarcity of the products i sell.The population increase has increased the consumer base and thus increased clients.The scarcity of these products have also increased the prices of these commodities.As a small scale trader i would wish to maintain my clients at the same time due to increased cost of these electronics i cant buy enough to satisfy both my clients.This therefore necessitated me to look for funding so that i can be able to purchase enough CDs, DVDs, Earphones and Ink cartridges for my shop.The average sales per month is ksh40000 and this could be increased to 60000 if am funded to attract new clients at the same time satisfy my existing clients. Thanks in advance for your help.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders, its another new year and I take this opportunity to thank you for the far you have helped me especially through boosting my business through the first loan you offered me. The previous loan I had from Zidisha helped me a lot to meet my goal as individual and also increased my customers morale since I was able to meet their satisfaction. I express all my happiness to you lenders , the service delivery has improved tremendously hence building trust and confidence to my customers. I am pleased that you have given me another chance to post a loan on Zidisha website. I wish to use this loan to purchase a computer and a printer so as to enable me increase my business through typesetting my clients work. I also wish to add more stock in my business with the remaining amount. Thank you for your continued support.

    AM so greatful to you lenders for the money you loaned me since it really did help me alot. Am so sorry for not sending my instalments payments on time and sometimes i pass the date intended to be submitted the reason being that the business has not been doing well for the months before but i promise to at least be paying on time given one month time and I will try as much to clear the previous ones. I hope you will consider me and grant me the one month grace period then i pay as per stated amount.

    Thank you lenders for the funding that you gave me and am so grateful that I received it and as per now i bought the said goods i.e. CD,s DVDS, Earphones and Ink cartridges. After buying the goods I have really seen more improvement in my business as i had stated. There is more revenue and as per now am very optimist that my business will grow more and more. I have also seen more customers coming to inquire for other goods that I didnt have of which has made me realize that the business will very soon bear the fruits of the funds that i received from you. Am so thankful and appreciate the great work that you are doing.
