On-time repayments
85 installments • 96%
I was born in 1973, my parents were residing at Marsabit. They then moved to their rural home Nyeri. I went to School Mukui Primary School .I join ed Secondary School which was near home at Nyeri.
I joined a small scale trader in the year 2010 but i did not expand so i decided to move to Nairobi where i am now for a greener pasture.
I started another small scale trader of buying and selling timber,nails, iron sheets, brushes and sand at a rented room and is when i met Joseph. I hope happy to join ZIDISHA because my hope is to expand my business.
In fact, when i started the business, i was at our rural home Nyeri. It took too long to pick because it was new to that place and to make it worse , many people didn't concentrate on building, because they were farmers. There, i requested my parent to help me financially for me to continue with small scale trading. I chosen Nairobi City though out of city center where new and modern resident now i enjoy buildings were built. It took some months to start being noticed by builders and now i enjoy the fruits of the trade though not too much but at least am able to handle rent payment , food and small needs.I find the much i get per month as an interest is not less than between Ksh; 25,000/= to Ksh. 30,000/=
Every business attracts buyers by adding new and highly wanted items, this little amount i will receive , i will by decorating new building material though not many but it will greatly help at least it will add value to the Hardware and my monthly income might rise higher than usual.
