About Me

I was born in1969 in a family which was not well capable as far as the financial area is concern. I managed to be educated up to class seven and I didn’t continue with education because of money. Because of the poverty, I was married very early and we have 11 children 4 boys and 7 girls. In early time after marriage, I started cooking tea and snacks which I sold to builders.

My Business

After involving in cooking tea and snacks, I decided to start a food kioski because I saw the work is not bad for it is paying my salary, rent, loan among other things. People liked my food and tea because I do cook the best food than others for this is the only way to attract customers. My kioski is clean always because I like cleanness.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
I intend to use the whole amount to expand my business by changing the site i am currently to the opposite site where there will be large room to sustain my customers.This room need to be renovated by painting and vanishing as well,also i will need to buy more utensil,TV,so as to entertain my customers while way to eat.After doing all those,i will introduce new method of wearing dust coat because in our area ,people use not to use them.by doing so one may identify the staff instead shouting to any body to serve him or her.

Dear Lenders/Zidisha team.
I have just called Beth to today 1717/5/2014 in regard to her loan arrears and I was shocked when she descided to switch off her phone in the middle of our conversation.I later on called one of her relatives who told me that Beth was out of the house but she would let me know if she was back.I will call her again later and update you accordingly,

I called Alice today but as usual ,she engaged her cell phone.I then called her community leader to make the follow up on her assignment but he told me that Beth had vacated her previous house and moved to a further place but within the locality so he asked me to contact him in the next two days he will give me her report as he will be able to identify her new residence then,I will make a followup and give a comment.

I contacted Beth today 28/3/2014 at around 12.48 pm Kenyan time .She picked the phone but after hearing my voice, she turned off the phone.I called her a few minutes later but she gave someone the phone who told me that she had left her phone for charging.Actually Beth has been avoiding my phone except for one day when she talked to me nicely and promised to reschedule her loan as she couldn't afford paying the scheduled weekly payment.I will try and call her this evening before i speak to the community leader.I have realized that she is uncooperative.
