About Me

My name is Nicholus Kai Haro aged 45 years. I am married to one wife and have 3 children. I have a bachelors degree in education majored in Special needs education. I am ateacher by profession teaching the mentally handicapped children in my country kenya. I have been in this profession for the past 17 years and I am the teacher in charge of the special Unit for the mentally handicapped children in the school. I am an employee of Teachers service commission. Beside being employed I am a business man.

My Business

My business started as a small retail shop dealing with food items and incorporation of green vegetables and little bit of cereals but has now grown to a big business.
My goods are in high demand because I always buy goods of high quality and fresh, the business premises is ever clean and tidy, the business attendants/ shop keepers use good and persuasive language.
I chose the business because the demand for the food and vegetables items was so high in the area and the supply was low and limited.
The typical costs and revenue include costs of the items, power, tax from county government. The income is able to cater for the cost and revenue , repay zidish loans and be able to cater for other development activities. So there is
alway profit.
I use the profit for education of my children in schools, reinvestment as in the case of my rental business house and improvement of my home and genera improvement of my life status.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan fund to buy;10 bales maize flour@1000=KES10,000, 5 bales wheat flour@1300= KES6500, 2 bags sugar@5000=KES10,000, 5 jericanes cooking oil@2850=KES14250, 4 bags rice@1870=KES7480, 10 cartons milk@740=KES7400, 3 crates of tomatoes@ 2000=KES6000, 2 bags potatoes@4500=KES9000,2bags cabbages@1200=KES2400,2bag onion@5000=KES10,000.All totalling to KES 83030(798.4 dollas) and use the balance for transport. 30 percent profit increase.

    I used the loan fund to add stock to my business amounting to the fund I received (KES 116500). The stock added increased the sales and profit which enabled expansion of the business premises ( 6 roomed rental house). Your fund also changed my lifestyle greatly.
    I wish to thank and appreciate my lenders for their lending and further inform them that their lending has really done good to me and the neighborhood. I urge them to continue lending me to alleviate poverty.

I paid the KES 798 which was listed and other amount as seen in Mpesa transaction numbers, NF31CPSBMD and NF31CPUBBH.

    I wish to thank my lenders for funding my loan fully after expedition. According to my knowledge loans that have undergone expedition do not take long to be disbursed since a certain percentage of the fund is deducted to speed up the funding and disbursement. Why is it taking the normal period for disbursement?
