About Me

i live with my wife saumu kaingu and my daughter nuru around basi location and mikingirini sub location around basi primary iam self employed with a kcpe certificatewhich igot it from basi primary in the year 1998 am in lumbering and flowerist within kilifi.from this business, i cater for some of myneeds being school fees, houses rent, medical bills and every need that arises there in.from my earnings i also assist my brother with pocket money who is learning at ngerenya secondary school who is in form three.

My Business

from timber i make materials like beds, door frames, windows. shutters etc.some used as building materials and some as furniture.its only the quality of the products that interest customers and that's the way the profit.the risk in this business is, low season and mass competition, the cost of the business and its profit is controlled by lacking of workshop and thus it varries from 30k-35k that leads to 40k-60k as sales making a10k-20k profit. the other problem i face is the lack of machinery and display site for lumbering, demand and supply for floweriest.

Loan Proposal

First i;ll secure a storey building which is currently vaccant.In this building i will store and sell timber of which i wil be sawing. some of the amount will be for down payment of the store and a big percentage approximately 60% will be for the sawing and transportation procedures untill the timber reaches the store.

Thank you once again for giving me this chance and my God bless the good work you're doing. Hoping to read from you Zidisha and my lenders soon.

      Dear Silver,

      This is Roberta Zenere: I am a Kenya Country Liason Intern at Zidisha.
      Mr Gehi sent a message to us yesterday, communicating his intention to reschedule his loan and possibly resuming payments from October. Due to lack of clients and techical problems with his saw machine, Mr Gehi has faced several financial challenges in the past months, but it seems that he is now recovering.

      Please, if you need further clarifications, feel free to contact us.

      All the best,

      Roberta
      Zidisha Team

    Dear lenders,
    This is Analin Saturria McGregor with Zidisha's Communications team.
    Our Volunteer Mentor Michael Kenga has recently reported back to us on some follow-ups with clients in the Kilifi area, and one of those clients was Mr. Gehi. Lemmy bought a power saw machine that broke shortly after he purchased. He has not been able to do the same volume of work ever since and his income has been affected as a result. He plans to repair the power saw so he can take in more work as planned. We hope Lemmy finds a reliable repair source that gets his power saw back in shape! Mr. Gehi, we wish you the best!
