About Me

I am a Kenyan by birth, married to one dear wife Lucy Njambi. I am blessed with the following children: Solomon, Gachoka, Prisila, Gathoni, John Kanja, Jane Waruguru and Simon Njema. Two of my daughters are married and they are working. I love my family because we depend on each other.I also do practice farming by keeping cattle and farming tomatoes all those are being done in cooperation with my wife. May God let her live a long life. Amen.

My Business

I operate a motor cycle business.i ply through kandutura,rongai and salgaa route .The bussiest season is april, august and december.During april and august we bodabodas can carry as many as two people per trip because this is the time most of the schools are clossing and students have to be ferried home.December is also a good business season because most of the people prefer to go to the rural areas because of festivities such as christmas ,boxing day and new yearday .Our main challenges are that when it rains since our roads are seasonal surfaces our motor cycles skid and customers sometimes fall off.

Loan Proposal

Hi Lendders,I have been looking forward in my life since i join Zidisha.I wanted to practice hot culture this season which i have started three months ago.I came to notice, in orders for the farmer to succeed he need a water pump generator.So i will use whole amount to buy one.This will make my work easier while watering the tomatoes which i have planted on my garden.The product will last for the coming two months from now,then to be taken to the market.

    Dear Lenders,
    I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
    Kind regard,
    Wachira.

    Dear Lenders,
    I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.
    Kind regard,
    Wachira.

      Dear James Wachira,

      You're welcome. I hope to see you get your funding. Maybe you could write more about the motor bike you want to buy. Why do you need another bike? Do you need to replace the one you have or are you hoping to expand your business and have employees?

      I hope you, your wife and children are doing well,
      Evinpa

      No problem, will loan more at the end of the month if you aren't funded by then. I looked up the Bajaj 100 on the internet, they claim impressive fuel economy, does it really do 100km per litre? My old Honda 125 only did about 35km per litre.

        the bajaj is a motor cycle that does not consume alot of fuel .from Rongai up to Nakuru which is 38 km i normally spend fuel of about shs 30 .you can as well stick with it for more than 1 year before it develops mechanical problems.it is widely used especially in relatively flat terain.it is a durable motorcycle and very confortable,much more than suzuki honder and yamaha
