About Me

I am Elpinah Mwangura from Nairobi, Kenya. I have successfully repaid my third loan. I am now applying for my fourth loan to buy more stock of health products. I have gained a lot and made good interest with my last loan from which i also bought and sold more products. I have also made new clients which is the goal of our business.

My Business

I do marketing of nutritional health food supplements which are produsts which help to fight diseases by giving us the nutrients required in our body to fight diseases.

Project Proposal

I will use the funds to buy more stock of yarn. I intend to market my products online in order to reach more clients. I also plan to open a shop to display my handcrafts in order to access a wider market.

    Kindly allow me to pay my next instalment a few days later. Am still pressed a little in my finances due to delayed sales of my hand crochet items. Thank you.

    I will be traveling out of my usual station to visit and pay school fees for a child (orphan) who I educate. This child lives in Mombasa, another city far from Nairobi city. I realise that my normal payment will be interfered with since I will spend some amount of money. I look forward to being on schedule on my payments as I am eager to complete my project on time. Thank you.

    My name is Elpinah Mwangura from Nairobi, Kenya. I am a retired mother and doing business to earn my living. I have been a marketer of food supplements but thought I should diversify and make use of my God given talent and venture into Crochet Weaving. I had been good in this art when I was a young girl. So in 2020 during Corona virus epidemic I started realised I was too idle so I started weaving at home. I now want to but more yarn and also later a sewing machine. I intend to find a shop to work from as I expand my work. I want to say a big thank you to my funders of my project. I cannot thank you enough, but I pray God to bless you and keep you well and safe. Thank you again.

    My last project has been a success. It funded my handcraft (crochet business) which I was able to purchase more yarn and weave items like bedside carpets, handbags, baby clothes etc. I just desire to add my yarn stock in order to do client orders of house carpets and bedroom decoration items.

    I want to say thank for sending my second loan of Kshs 1262 today. This confirms to me that Zidisha keeps to its promised of disbursing funds within the described time. I will use my loan to purchase a product for my business, sell it and continue buying and selling from the proceeds. It will also enable me to repay my loan on time. I can say the loan has put me back to business after spending during end of year holidays. Again, thank you.
