About Me

Hello Zidisha Family, my name is Samson. I am married and a father of two wonderful boys. I was born and raised in the Central part of Kenya where I went to school up to high school. After high school, I moved to Kitengela Town after getting employment in a textile factory. Kitengela is a vibrant town and has a lot of potential. I worked for two years after which I quit due to my passion to have my own business. In 2008 January, I started a small business of a video shop. My business has grown and now I have introduced electronics which seems promising due to many people moving from rural areas to towns and the demand for electronics is high. My profits go to school fees, family upkeep and expanding my business. My family is my joy and I want to give my children the best in education and any other assistance. I love travelling and adventure and watching movies in my free time.

My Business

My business deals with electronics, that is, TVs, music systems, bulbs and electrical appliances. This is a fast growing urban centre, so the demand is high. The profit goes between 30% to 40% in every stock sold. The stock replacement is regular, that is, three to four times in a month. Mostly the profits go to inventory, family upkeep and school fees. My future plan is to have a wholesale store and create employment.

Loan Proposal

Hello dear lenders, I want to thank you so much for helping me with the previous loans. You have helped my business to grow by 40%.Now I can borrow more confidently knowing am capable of repaying my loan. I still need your assistance for another loan this time I want to buy building materials for a family house, I have already acquired the plot and the loan will buy stones for building. The business that zidisha has helped to grow is now stable and able to service the loan that you will give me.Thanking you in advance and looking forward for your kind consinderation.

    Disappointing no payment has been made in 6 months - have to use 'receive advance repayment' to get the money back to lend to others in need.

    Hi Samson Muriithi,
    Please advise when you will restart payments - this loan is now significantly delayed. Failure to repay reduces our trust and means we cannot relend to other borrowers in need.

    Hello Samson Muiithi,

    You should have made your first payments by now, but it doesn't look like you've made any. Will you be making payments soon? Please talk with your Zidisha mentor if you are having trouble making payments.

    Hello dear lenders, I will forever be grateful for you. I am so excited to have completed paying my last loan of $1,555. The loan helped me so much to open a new branch and the new business is improving by the day. I am also happy to mention that I have been able to offer employment to one person who is at the new shop. By mid next year my prediction is for the business to grow to accommodate more employment as I progress. Below are photos of the new business.
