About Me

I was born in 1973, my parents were residing at Marsabit. They then moved to their rural home Nyeri. I went to School Mukui Primary School .I join ed Secondary School which was near home at Nyeri.
I joined a small scale trader in the year 2010 but i did not expand so i decided to move to Nairobi where i am now for a greener pasture.
I started another small scale trader of buying and selling timber,nails, iron sheets, brushes and sand at a rented room and is when i met Joseph. I hope happy to join ZIDISHA because my hope is to expand my business.

My Business

In fact, when i started the business, i was at our rural home Nyeri. It took too long to pick because it was new to that place and to make it worse , many people didn't concentrate on building, because they were farmers. There, i requested my parent to help me financially for me to continue with small scale trading. I chosen Nairobi City though out of city center where new and modern resident now i enjoy buildings were built. It took some months to start being noticed by builders and now i enjoy the fruits of the trade though not too much but at least am able to handle rent payment , food and small needs.I find the much i get per month as an interest is not less than between Ksh; 25,000/= to Ksh. 30,000/=

Loan Proposal

I will buy some small new items and display where regular and new customers will see so as to see and attract them hence buying.
These small new items will somehow add value to the ongoing business and at least there will be rise of interest.
My second Zidisha loan will be a history to me that I will not forget lenders.
Thank you so much and God bless and keep you longer.
