On-time repayments
85 installments • 96%
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.
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/=
I will add stock to my hardware shop which will be equivalent to the loan that i will receive. the items that i will add will also increase my daily income and i hope within a short period, i will be able to repay the loan.
