About Me

Jane Wambui Mathai is my name. I am a known businesswoman in my locality. I have a family, my responsibility . I reside in a place called Game next to Lake Nakuru National Park in Nakuru County. This place is found at a distance of almost 35 km from Nakuru town, along Nakuru-Mau Narok road. I decided to venture in tailoring, and I purely deal with sewing new school uniforms to be precise. There had been very few and, or sometimes no tailor who focused on children’s school uniform. My variety ranges from kindergarten kids, primary pupils and secondary school students. After starting it, I haven’t looked back since then. I have brought up my family well through it.

My Business

The business has grown; it is calling for bigger walls. I have a big wish to expand it by enlarging the same business premise , and also to open another branch. The stock that I have is never enough. It might be, I know, but I haven’t gotten near the anticipated level. The capital needed to do all this, plus buying other sewing machines and deploying much more manpower is so huge for me. I have high hopes that if at all I get a loan from Zidisha Organization at relatively low interest, all shall be well. This is why I have taken a step ahead to apply for the same since I know there is power in investing.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
I want to use this loan to buy a new overlock sewing machine. This will be very crucial in my sewing and tailoring business as it will increase efficiency as well improve my capacity to produce more products at any one given time. I would also like make new and attractive design of school uniforms and this I will achieve through this loan from Zidisha organization.

    dear lenders am so sorry for being late in my loan repayments. the reason for being late is that i was suffering from stomach ulcers this made me to be admitted in nairobi hospitals for some times. i could not be able to walk to the near by cyber cafe to reschedule my loan. am so sorry for this since my time repayment might drop. i have decided to reschedule my loan for a period of two months so that i can settle well and have enough time to start my repayments.
