About Me

my name is Marion Wanja Muthoni and a resident of Mawanga Estate of Nakuru town. l am married with one kid who is in primary school and my husband is also a business person.l started the chemist business five years ago after completion of college this was to enable me earn a living and support my family.since l live in my own plot l have maximize on the land available that l do farm green vegetables and onions that l sell locally to the green grocers in the estate.l started the farming business after having planted on improvised gardens commonly known as(hangings gardens) for my own use and since the produce was good l decided to expand the business and produce for sale so as to make an extra income.

My Business

The chemist business is very profitable as mostly l deal with the medicines.The demand for the products is very high as my shop is strategically located and not many shops are within.since chemist shop is in the line of health the demand is always there as every one wants to be healthy and having trained as a pharmacist is a added advantage when it comes to handling of the customers. the competition is very high and especially from the goverment hospitals as well as other chemist in town but l sell the medicines at a affordable prices so as maintain the customers.from the business l am able to make ks 15,000 as net profit and the farming business gives me an average of ks 10,000 per month when l have the produce. if my loan application is successful l will use the money to add more stock so as to increase the sales.

Loan Proposal

l am kindly appealing to my lenders to fund my chemist shop.l own the business and l will use the loan to buy more medicine and this will enable me to grow my business and increase the sales.the stock level is to the standard but l want to add more stock so that l can meet the market demand for my customers.The first loan helped me to grow my business and l am very positive that this loan will enable me to take my business to another level. be blessed.

    hi zidisha team. i believe you are all doing well. i must say that my business has really grown a lot. i was able to add more stock from the loan that you disbursed to me in the month of february. since i have been doing well, i was able to buy some equipments for a small clinic which includes a couch, a few instruments such as B.P. machine, thermometer a simple desk and chair. i really couldn't have enough words to thank you for helping me expand this much. i look forward to repaying my full loan and hope to pay all the remaining instalments in time. God bless you all. your help is appreciated

    hi zidisha,
    I would like to give you the latest updates about my business. I must confess that so far so good. My chemist has really been doing well. Since i added some stock i have been able to attract more customers because they are assured of getting almost all the drugs they need from under the same roof. Earlier, in my display, i had lots of spaces because the business was not well stocked but today the spaces are becoming lesser and lesser because it is more stocked. Thanks to the zidisha team for assisting lift my dreams. I am more encouraged to know that in future there will be no empty shelves/spaces.

    Kudos for the work well done.

    hi Jenny,
    it was nice hearing from you and it's very encouraging to know that you were one of my donors. my business has really taken a new turn since i received the zidisha loan. i was able to buy more stock to my business and my sales have gone high. i was also able to finish constructing a small poultry house which i intend to use for rearing chicken. i am very grateful for making this possible which i could not have achieved if not for this zidisha loan. keep up the good work because i know it will help another entrepreneur out there as it did to me.

    may God richly bless you and am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
