About Me

I am Gideon Mutembei born the year 1974,schooled up to 4th form and due to lack of fees i could not continue with learning,i was employed as a watchman and i raised some money,enrolled in college and obtained higher diploma in Media studies out of my own savings,out of this achievement i was promoted from guarding to office controller.
Am now planning to join university in May this year to complete a degree in the same field.The idea of business came into my mind after realizing that i could not meet my other financial responsibilities and especially that of my 2 children and my wife,so i decided to start a business and we run it together with my wife when am not busy.My son aspires to be a business administrator while my daughter would like to become a catholic nun.I love martial arts and i am a brown belt holder in karate rankings,i also pray volleyball.Thanks.

My Business

Hi all,let me first take this opportunity to thank and commend my lenders for their support in my business through the first loan which has been very successful.My business is now fully stable and my next loan is intended to help me enroll for a degree course in Media studies here in Nairobi,(Technical University of Kenya).It will be easier for me to service the loan from my salary since from earlier on i said am employed as a Controller with a security firm.Regards.

Loan Proposal

Good morning,
Am a student at Maseno University Nairobi town Campus, am pursuing a degree in Business Administration with IT, I intend to repay the loan through my salary since am employed in a private Company.It has been a long journey but at the moment I can see hope,am joining second year next semester,if all goes well I will be exempted some units if the school senate consinder my Higher Diploma in Mass Communication,
Regards,
Gideon.

    Good morning,
    First and foremost let me sincerely apologize for the delayed payment which I know has negatively affected your financial operations, I had College burden fees which weighed me down financially, am now through college and looking forward to graduating with a Bachelor's DEGREE IN Business administration with IT, this is a story for another day. Am comfortable with the chosen payment installment of Kshs.774

    Thanks a lot and be blessed for your patience.

      Hi Gideon,

      We do understand...

      Re: "Kindly give me the status update of my account." - please send an email (to the attention of the team for Kenya) at "[email protected]" to get a status update of your account.

      Borrower Discussion pages cannot be routinely monitored by Staff. The Discussion page, rather, is for you and your lenders to communicate with one another. :-)

      Lenders contribute toward the funding of loans, but they don't do any of the loan administrative work. For that, you always need to send an email to the address mentioned above.

      Best wishes,
      Laurie
      The Zidisha Team
