About Me

I was born in 1976 in Meru county. I was educated up to form four. Because I couldn’t join any college, I was forced to be employed for five years before I started my own business. I managed to travel from meru to Nakuru county where I started my business although it was not easy in a unknown area.
I am single with 3 children all being girls and I do love them

My Business

In order to get my daily expenses, I opened a public bar in Rongai town where I shifted from Meru.
Although it is a challenging business, I manage it. The name of the bar is Small Joint Puplic bar. Mostly I face the challenge of people refusing to pay the bill. Also when people get drunk they refuse to go home but I manage to control them and my business has stand for all these years. It has been of great help in my life and it has given me experience of interacting with all characters.

Loan Proposal

I want to add my current stock from 5 crates of beer to 10 crates in a day that my customers will not go to other bars. Adding more customers chairs, renovating the business room in order to look more attracting. The total cost of the above will be Kshs 30,000 and the remaining amount will be for any emergency cases.

    Dear lenders,
    My name is Analin and I'm a Country Liaison Manager at Zidisha.
    Esther sent us a message explaining she is not ignoring her past due payments on purpose. Her business has not been going well for the past few months, leaving her in a position where she can't afford payments at the time. She hopes to see an improvement in her business activity that will allow her to resume payments in the next couple of months. We appreciate your patience!

    Because of my business going down I have decided to reschedule my loan so that I will be in a position of completing my dues. Mostly when people are busy at garden they dont drink but when they are free they do drink and that's normal. I promise with the new installment I will be in a good position.
