About Me

I was born in 1982 at Kimangu farm of Rongai district. I went to Rongai primary school between 1988 and 1996. I did not proceed with my education beyond primary level. I took up farming with my parents until 2005 when I opened my own business of shoe shinning. After opening my own business I also continue with farming in order to support some areas.I do live in sawa sawa estate,one km from Rongai Town using Rongai visoi marram road,Arasa stage.Plot no is 61Nafaka,Wainaina street next to Ndirangu house.

My Business

My business is shoe shinning within at Rongai township matatu stage.I have been there for a number of years serving the people of Rongai . They have been a blessing to me. I am working in a shade given by the County council where I pay monthly rent. After my daily income, I buy the next day stock and the remaining I do save for emergency cases.

Loan Proposal

First i would like to expand my shoes shade to presentable shade by constructing new model.Also to boost my second hand shoes from 20 pair to 40 pair.This will help to meet the day to day customer without any problem.However with this loan,i intend to lease the place i am working for 10years.After all i will able to employe three casual worker which they will be paid through piece work depending on a day.

Dear Lenders,

Due to a data entry error, a payment from Francis on November 21st was entered multiple times erroneously. Once this error is fixed in our system, the funds in your lender accounts will decrease accordingly. We apologize for this error and any inconvenience it causes you!

Thank you,
Bayle, Country Liaison Manager

Dear Lenders,due to unavoidable issue i will not be able to continue with my current repayment.This forced me to reschedule my loan at the moment . In addition i will be able to make the repayment without problem and my business will remain active because at the moment almost every thing is not under expected . Hope you will agree with my point and allow this
