About Me
my names are Noel nyanje ziro a resident here at majengo. I have a humble background. Am a married man with three children, a boy and two girls. Am the last born of 11 siblings. My dad died the same year of my birth. This was very hard for my mum since she was a house wife. I got sponsored by my church through the ordinary level of education. Then i kept and sold poultry. I saved some money which i payed for a drivers licence. With my driving licence i ventured into transport business. I was hired to ride motorbikes for a transpory company. I saved money and bought my own motorbike, the one in my profile picture. I want to thank zidisha who have always come in handy whenever i needed money to buy spares for my motorbike. This business has enabled me to pay for my wifes collage fees. She is doing a degree in mt. Kenya unniversity. She is studing bachelor of education in early childhood. In my culture women are supposed to be housewifes but me and my wife decided to break that culture thats why am empowering my wife with higher education. My children are also having formal education. The boy wants to be a teacher like his mum, while the two girls want to be a doctor and a pilot respectively. During my free time i mentor teens. I have a group of teens i call them 'the ambassadors of christ' I counsel and guide them to be good citizen, i teach them christian values. Again i thank zidisha for the previous loans. I want to buy a new motorbike but my savings of ksh 65 thousands are not enough. Another loan will help me buy a new motorbike. My current profit are no longer sufficient. School fees and collage fees have increased prompting the need for more earnings. i know zidisha will be my angel again. God bless all my lenders.
