About Me

I live in Kiptangwanyi shopping center which is approximately 43km from Nakuru town. Nakuru town is our nearest major town within this area. I am married with one child. I live in plot number 47 at the shopping center where I carry out my business with my family. My business entails a retail shop at the shopping center. I sell goods that range from foodstuffs and home use wares.

My Business

My business entails a retail shop at the shopping center. I sell goods that range from foodstuffs and home use wares.. The business is good as this is where I get basic needs to sustain the family and most of my income is from this business. The main challenges that this business encounters are lack of finance to frequently stock my business and fluctuating prices of fuel which adversely affects the business negatively. It is my hope that I will get a loan from Zidisha and I will be able to improve the status of my business.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
I would like to use my loan to purchase more stock for my business. We are approaching the festive season and the business is usually good. I would therefore like to use this opportunity to boost my business and increase my revenues. I am grateful and I will use this loan well to achieve this goal once I get it from Zidisha.

    Hello Lucy,

    Do you plan on repaying this loan? Repayments help the community continue to offer loans to others. We depend on repayments to keep the cycle going. This is how we can all avoid the large interest charged by banks.

    Let us know how you are doing.

    Blessings,
    Jamal

    Dear lenders
    I hope you are all doing well and am doing well too. My business is doing fine too. It has however declined in the income that it gives out and therefore I have not been in a position to send my weekly repayment. Thus I wish to change the installments and hope to resume in the next repayment on time.I am positive that things will change for the better and I will be able to make ontime repayments.

    Dear lenders
    I wish to adjust my repayment at this moment as I have been unable to make ontime repayments. This is due to the poor performance anr declined income from the business. The past few weekshas seen me get very low income and thus I was unable to make my ontime repayments. Thus I wish to reschedule to a new plan which ia my hope thta will give me time to reorganize myself and start making regular repayments. Thank you
