About Me

I was born in 1976 in a remote village called Lugango in kakamega East District of Kakamega County Western Kenya.
I went to primary school in the same village and thereafter went to Secondary school in the neighboring Kakameaga North district called Malava boys high school where i passed my Kenya Certificate for Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations with a mean grade C+Plus.
I then joined The Kenya polytechnic where a studied photography and audio-visual and acquired a certificate in the same. Currently i' am doing a course in business management.
Ever since i have been doing photography as a business combined with farming for which i don't have the required equipment ie Good cameras, lighting,zoom lenses etc. That's why i' am joining zidisha for financial support so that i can buy these items and also those that are needed for farming.

My Business

I started my photography and farming business 10 years ago in Kakamega town and its environs. I love my business, and although there is a lot of competition, I keep my customers happy by giving them what they want.Good photos in different occasions. This business is good because you everyone wants there important occasions recorded for future reference and remembrance. The business helps me support my family financially in terms of basic needs and education. I strongly believe that if given this loan i will be able to make big strides in my business prospective and make profits that will enable me to assist other people in the community especially those that are disadvantaged in one way or another.

Loan Proposal

I wishto request Zidisha to lend me some money in order to purchase fertilizer as i prepare for the next planting season in January. I'm in need of DAP fertilizer which will help me boost my crop production during the next season. I once tried to plant vegetable without DAP and the results were so disastrous so i need some money to purchase the fertilizer. I will appreciate so much for your support. Thanks in advance.

    Just a question. Can a loan be paid through another mobile phone number other than the one registered with Zidisha?
