About Me
I was born 40years ago, in Misori Village, Usenge Sub-Location, West Yimbo Ward, of Siaya County. I went to school in 80's and Mid 90's. After my high school I joined my uncles in fishing business which I did for half a decade. I made enough savings from fishing which I used to start a barber shop which I operate to-date besides owning few boats that supplements my earnings and providing food for the family.
I am married and am blessed with two children, am a Christian and God fearing man. I want to start poultry farming to supplement my earnings, with this i will supply both broilers and eggs to the market for sale, and i hope this will give me extra cash to pay the loan with much ase.
My Business
Having been brought up within Lake Victoria region, I joined fishing industry immediately after high school. I then used my savings to start a barber shop which I run alongside owning a fishing vessel. Both businesses face various challenges. The fishing industry requires a lot of human resource as much as financial, the fishing gears needs frequent repairs and upgrading for a better catch. The barber shop business has gone digital with customers demanding better services, latest styles, head/ neck massage and hair treatment as well. All these requires reliable source of income to maintain the business to customers satisfaction. I have improved my businesses by upgrading fishing gears and shaving materials, keeping the environment clean and attractive while maintaining customer relations.
Jointly I earn an average of $675 per month. My total bill costs $222, my salary $205. As a Christian I pay 10% tithe to the church ($68), I use $145 for upgrading the businesses and $35 for emergency. From my salary I save $15, and spend further $147 in paying school fee and meeting other family obligations (such as food, clothing, and basic health care). The remainder is my entertainment; I will use part of this money plus some savings and surplus from increased proceeds to repay the loan.
I want to put up a modern barber shop increase the number of machines and human resources, increase the number of vessels and fishing gears as well. I believe with Zidisha as my financial partner the sky is the limit.
Loan Proposal
I started poultry keeping with the first loan now I want to expand the business by extending the poultry house and buying more chicks for rearing. The extension will include wire mesh, poles and iron sheet at a cost of $255 while 100 chicks will cost $110, I will also buy more drugs for vaccination which will cost $12. Since I am rearing indigenous breeds, the chicks will be ready for sale within three months at a cost of each $6.6. This money will go along way in transforming my life as I look to begin major supplies to various schools and colleges by January, 2016.
