About Me

I am the 1st born in the family of 8 children. Having completed form 4 education,i joined Kenya Polytechnic and atained Building & Construction Certificate.Deu to job scarsity,i started working as casual labourer in construction sites,and i managed to save some money which helped me to start up a small business. In the area where i live,most people do business and others partial farming.My 2 daughters still schooling in primary level,one wishes to be a pilot and the other one a doctor.I exploring business journals

My Business

I do interior fittings in both modern & old houses using woods,aluminium & glasses materials.Most clients prefer them because they light,quick to install & beautiful.Despite that am good in this work and its accountings are so straight forward i realized the demand is high than the fitters.The job cost $650 and it rewards me with $250 in a week.I usualy pay school fees,domestic use,transport, house rent & reinvest in growing my business.

Loan Proposal

My work has now gone to another level of walls and floor tiles fittings and floor euro con fittings. Euro- con's are materials that we put on garage floor and washing areas, that are made with quarry chips and cement.
To make the work run smoothly, cutting machines are needed. These are a grinding machine with a diamond cutting disc and rubi tiles cutter machine.
A grinding machine and a diamond cutting disc will cost me $350 and a tiles cutting machine (rubi) will cost me $250.2.
Many thanks to my lenders and the entire zidisha team for seeing me grow financially. God of hosts bless u all.

    Dear zidisha, I have decided to change my installments due to failure of my work. Kenya has been experiencing economic failure and most of constructions has stopped and this has affected my work badly. Kindly bare with me. Its only for a time. Thanks and God bless you.

    Dear zidisha. I have not been able to meet my installments. My work stopped since October and my employer has kept on telling to wait a little longer without telling me the exact time of resuming work. Its only resently that he told me the work will resume in January. Kinly give me some time and I will be able to meet my installments. Thanks and God bless zidisha.

    Dear zidisha, it's two weeks now and I haven't met my installments. Our country has been hit by a severe drought and this being the year of election, my work has really gone down due to luck of client. But I hope in the near future situation will change and the work will resume. Thanks.

    Dear zidisha, I have decided to adjust my loan installment because my work has gone down and have been left with only one client.
    Am hopping that in the near future my clients will increase and my work will resume to normal. Thanks.
    Since I started borrowing from zidisha my investment has grown from house interior fittings to now that am able to take contract for building residential houses and I thank zidisha for assisting me financially.

    Tried to send an email but I think there is a problem because it is not going through. My zidisha account doesn't have a " Repayment schedule".

    Dear lenders, with the just funded loan I will buy natural stones that will be dressed in such a way that when they built on external wall, they will make the house bring out a natural beauty.
    I have come to realize that people like natural beauty and so am sure I will get more clients after I complete my work.
    I would like to thank all my lenders for boosting me financially. God bless you all.
