About Me

Raised at Mombasa and currently living in Mombasa. I went through my primary school in Sinba Academy Bamburi and when I was in high school I could sense the power of business. I am Young and ready to bring ideas to business. I am a diploma holder in civil engineering from Technical University of Mombasa (TUM), other than construction work I do IT related business such web design, printing services, graphic design and selling movies. Great thanks to Zidisha!

My Business

I am the founder and chief executive officer of the Cast and Fountain Company. Cast and Fountains was started with the objective of actively creating,enhancing,flourishing and improving the both the eye and mind view perspective of the environmental surrounding, Through the building and designing of beautiful and mind relaxing fountains and precast products all over the country. Fountains and precast designs provide a mind relaxation view and also an attractive sense of artistic art, which leads to a lot of advantages to the society and the nation in general. Our goal is to exceed our customers’ expectations while working with them to develop safe, sound, economical to their architectural fountain needs and desires.
Cast and fountains company was started so as to help and be part of the solution to the problems and that are experienced in the society which includes:
Expansion of middle-class urban housing and the laying out of the urban public parks.
Increase emission of waste gases and dust particles into the atmosphere which results to global warming.
High rate of unemployment of the youth in the nation.

Loan Proposal

I am thankful for the loan I got from Zidisha last time. Although I had problems with the location and making sales, I managed to get a new shop on a new location which is doing well by now. I also have a new online job which I have been doing for two months now. I would like Zidisha to help me put up a new project which I am currently working on. The project is about making indoor and outdoor fountain and also precast stone products.
I am interested with this project because fountains are infinitely adaptable, they represent ingenuity and life, power and control, and thus they make people happy and relieve their stress and worries. Fountains also help reduce the possibility of global warming due to dust particles and waste gases by diffusing healthy negative ions into the surrounding that neutralizes the dust particles and thus purifying the air.
I am kindly asking Zidisha amount of Ksh. 4,338 to help me purchase the project material like cement, fountain pumps, water treatment chemicals, river stones and more. I will add the amount from zidisha to my savings of 30,000 making the amount total 34,338 and I also plan to climb the Zidisha loan chart to fast so that I can benefit more from the amount given.

    Hello lenders. I am Rasugu's VM. I was able to talk to Rasugu and he confirmed he is doing well with his business. However, he is facing some bit of challenge hence the fallback with the repayments. He is hopeful that by weekend he will be in a position to put up some funds. Kindly request to be a bit patient with him until the weekend. Thank you on his behalf for your understanding.

    I was happy selling my first piece of work for Ksh. 13,000. I target to sell 5 pieces by the end of next month. The next Zidisha loan will help me to purchase more materials needed to make fountain and cast stone products such as cement, sand, gravel and cast stone molds. I aim to produce good work such as the photos I have attached below.
