About Me

I live in Kiptangwanyi shopping center which is approximately 43km from Nakuru town. Nakuru town is our nearest major town within this area. I am married with two beautiful daughters. I live in plot number 432 at the shopping center where I carry out my business with my family. I was born in nandi hills and took my education upto form four on those areas, we later came to nakuru county after post election violence. My business entails a retail shop and a grocery shop at the shopping center. The loan i took from zidisha has real improved my business, very soon i would also wish to be a lender.

My Business

My business entails retail shop and a grocery shop at the shopping center. mostly i have stocked general commodities that are favourable to the local community.I also sell arsorted fruits and vegatables at the moment i have started stocking grains like maize and beans. The goods that I sell range from mere foodstuffs, home ware items as well as cereals and shop commodities. The main challenges that this business encounters are drought and fluctuating prices of fuel which adversely affects the whole of energy industry. i also encounter the challenge of getting good stock in good time, with my third loan am planning to deal with transportation problem by buying a motor bike/car.

Loan Proposal

First i would wish to thank our almighty God for this far He has brought me and my buiness. I do also thank zidisha and the lending group and may the almighty God bless them, this will be my third loan from zidisha. My business has been doing very well despite one or two challenges here and there, i was able to overcome them and repaid my loan earlier. I am planning to start another business which i was introduced by my friend, this is a business of buying grains like maize and beans and reselling them again, this is the high season of harvesting in some areas and i want to take the opportunity of of buying as much produce as i can. God willing am planning to buy a pickup or a van to easen my transportation, with this loan am planning to save each and every coin and repay the loan within the shortest time possible.

    I would like to take this chance to wish zidisha and my lenders happy new year. Secondly, i want to thank zidisha for this far i have proceeded with my business. It has been a tough year but have been trying to keep it to standard. I have been able to do other things like paying fees for my children. I had a business prospect of early loan repayment but i was disappointed by my customers. Am planning to reschedule my loan for a short duration so as i reorganize myself. Am planning to reschedule it next month to a higher repayment plan.
    I thank zidisha.God bless.

      Dear Rachael,

      We have disbursed the remaining amount of your loan just now. I hope you have received the funds. Since last Wednesday, we were unable to make loan disbursements as normal due to a technical problem with our accounts. This is why we took so long to complete the disbursement. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused to you.

      Please, don't hesitate to contact us for any clarifications you may need.

      Thanks for your patience and all the best with your business.

      Roberta,
      Zidisha Volunteer

Secondly, from the loan i acquired I ventured it into my bussiness and i made good profit, am intending to borrow my second loan and i know God will bless you as you make that step of contributing to my loan. God bless you.

    Am a happy person with my family since Zidisha micro finance is changing lives. I was granted a loan on october amounting to 41,870 and ventured into my bussiness. I made good returns from my bussiness. i found it wise to repay mt loan amount within one month so that i can apply for my second loan to expand my business more in preparation for the new year. since i made alot of profit during this chrismas festivities i have no reservation in paying my loan early. i would like to encourage my friends and all borrowers to make good use of the money borrowed and invest it wisely, i have seen many people rising from nowhere to some where. Am planning to borrow and invest my loans upto the fourth time and am sure after that i will not be borrowing but lending to others. It is a big bravo to zidisha.
