About Me

I am a Kenyan citizen.
I was born and raised in Murang'a district, Githuri division.
I am the third born in a family of seven and currently working towards finishing my farming project.
I started my own business after being in farming since my childhood.
Our culture in Murang'a is very friendly and normally we are involved in various community projects like eradicating jiggers.
During my pass time, I enjoy cooking and watching movies. I am also currently involved with a local magazine where we highlight people's stories living in poverty and require aid

My Business

I deal with selling cereals and chicken in the market. I am currently enrolled in various ways to produce farm products.
My goods are in demand because they are consumables and we require them daily.
My costs include purchasing the fertilizers and feeds for my animals. These amount to per month Ksh. 20,000.
I use the profits gained to educate my little brothers and sisters which is good investment in their education,
I also assist the poor in society and the elderly

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
I will use my loan granted by you in this criteria:
Ksh. 25,000 I will use to add to my capital and purchase more stock. The stock include Khaki material and African cloths. This is because in the business I specialise with and my customer base, many love the attires and also am good in the designs that use the materials.
Ksh. 15,000 I will use to purchase attires to wear for the events we will go from this month with the band. This will be a breakthrough for me.
Thanks and please consider my request.

    Hi Elizabeth, how is the music going? I am very busy as our school year ends in June, so we have all the end-of-year student concerts and recitals.

    I met with Elizabeth and she had some issues with her Mpesa account but now it's rectified. She has sent some repayments whose transaction number is EZ56GR700.
    Thanks

    Dear Lenders,
    Dear Lenders,
    Mr. Elizabeth has just made another payment. Lets wait for Zidisha to update the profile.
    I have the transaction message and I can confirm indeed she has repaid, as I was with her as she sent the repayment.
    Thanks.

    Interesting interview link. I will certainly watch this closely and also, if you have some performance pictures, please upload them as it could lead to your big break in getting funded.
    I will work with you on this loan and in future

    Best regards from a jazz loving former audio engineer. Life is hard in music business and it seems, will ever be around the world. The last picture is me mixing the band I was 13 years travelling with. I had given it up for ten years (all people told me so, just because of money), but now I try again to open a retro recording studio with an old famous trident desk and a 24 channel mci 2" tape machine.
    I wish you to to always be paid on advance, motivated audio engineers and stage hands, good monitor sound, an understandingly family and boyfriend beeing proud of you.

        Hi Elizabeth,
        interesting, nothing I have written, was ment as an advise, all of it was nothing more than best wishes. I'm curious to explore that obviously cultural misunderstanding: What did you think was ment as an advice?
        ;-)

        Regards
        Sirko

    Dear Lenders,
    I happened to hear Miss Elizabeth Ogawo sing with Jazz Maestro Hellon at an event held at our University whereby there was an event mid last year. She possesses exquisite talent even in her designs which were at display that day. I having been among the event organizers for our club, we got to talk and I realised we had a lot in common. I introduced her to Zidisha since I wanted her to grow beyond where she was and the only way I saw fit was through Zidisha.
    She is honest and a reliable person. We have conducted business together for a while now and am proud to own some of her collections, khaki trousers.
    Please accept her proposal and fund her.
    As always people i endorse and or invite, I give it personalised attention and follow up. Elizabeth's case is no different.

    Thanks in advance.
