About Me

I am a carpenter by profession. For the last 18 years, I have been making home made furniture for my clients and my client base is increasing each day. I make cupboards, tables, chairs, sideboards, cabinets, beds, doors and wardrobes. My professional designed/work has earned me a good reputation among my high and low end customers.

I do wish to stock more materials to meet the high demand of my customers. With Zidisha loan, I shall purchase
1. Wood
2. Boards
3. Fabrics and foam sheets
4. Vanishes and Nails

After selling my products, I shall make a good profit which shall enable me to
1. Repay my zidisha loan
2. Pay school fees for my children
3. Take care of my family
4.Expand my business to 60% in year one.

My Business

My Carpentry business is one of the local carpentry business that is registering recognition and trust among the locals of Rusinga Island, Kenya. I have purported many low end clients with a more professional and well designed house and office furniture. Some of the products that I do make from wood include;

1. Sofa sets
2. Wall units
3. Wardrobes
4. Tables
5. Beds
6. Office furniture
Chairs

Loan Proposal

My client base is increasing and I am receiving alot of request to make more products to meet the demand of my clients. Right now, my capital is low and through the loan from Zidisha I shall be able to stock more products like Fabrics, Wood and Foam materials.

After selling the products I shall be able to
1. Pay Zidisha Loan
2. Be able to pay school fees for my children
3. Take care of my family
4. Increase my business capital base by 45% in the first season of year one

    Hello Lenders,
    I wish to take this opportunity to thank you so much for lending me a loan. Just as I informed about my sickness, I have been down for six months. I am now recovering well and I promise to repay my loan soonest possible. I request you to grant me more time so that I fulfill the promise. Thank you so much for your good cooperation.
