About Me

My name is Josephat njoroge mathu I was born in 1969 at shamata in Nyanadarua County I joined shamata primary school and later joined Ndururumo high school for my o levels completing in 1987. After school I worked with different institutions until when I decided to start self employment I settle in Nakuru town where I realized there was demand for raw power poles a business I do even today I am married and blessed with two children. My business does well and it is from its proceeds that I was able to buy a piece of land and built my own house. All along the business I was able to study theology and today I minister in Anglican churches of Kenya Nakuru parish

My Business

I am settled in nakuru town. my business is mainly to buy raw power transmission poles and resell them to treatment plants. i started this business after i realized there is great demand for poles to transmit power to all parts of the country as you know Kenya is a developing country and demand for the same is very high most of the treatment plants do not go out there to search for this poles instead they wait for people like me to deliver them. that is why i was able to capitalize on this demand. i usually get my poles from the highlands of Kenya like londiani and kisii county where these poles are plenty and cheap this makes me to make good profit while satisfying my customers by giving them a better margin. the only risk my business faces is when we are in the rainy season where we are forced to use a lot of man power to get poles from valley and hilly areas though the profit margin is sustainable i intend to do even better with zidisha platform

Loan Proposal

i should say Thank you very much to all my lenders my first loan was very helpful to my business of selling raw power transmission poles. i was able to purchase more poles for increased profits. for this second loan i will my purchase a trees plantation to clear fell, this will mean a Constant supply to my customers for a long period for a good turnover. God bless as you contribute towards filling my bids.
