About Me

I was born in 1976 in Rongai town where my parents used to stay. I was educated in Gogar primary school from 1984 to 1992. After completing the primary school, my parents took me to a dress maker who trained me in dress making for 1 year. When I completed the course I was employed for 3 years after which I
was married and I started a business of selling second hand clothes. We have blessed with 2 boys.

My Business

The business of selling second hand clothes known as mutumbas is what doing and it pays because I am able to pay store rent, revenue to government and keep my stock coontinue.
ntinue improving. My business is just opposite Rongai post office. Along post office ave.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy more stock to cater for increased demand during this festive season. The demand is mainly on new cloths. Ksh 40,000 will go for jackets and trousers for both men and women. The remaining Ksh 43,000 will buy dresses and children cloths of both sex. I expect to make good money because people are usually eager to spend during the festive season.

    Hi Zidisha Group,

    Thank you for the good work you are doing to us that has improved our lives. I greatly apologize for failing to submitting my loan repayment on time. This is due to some health problems that are currently hindering active involvement in my business and also the low income I am generating at this time. I promise to repay my monthly installment by 26/09/14. Please bear with during this difficult moment. Thank you in advance.

    Agnes.

    Hi Zidisha Group,

    It is with great concern that I let you know that I have tried all what it takes to continue with my monthly repayment but it has proven impossible. I have never experienced a season like this since I joined Zidisha. The business is at its worst. The change of climate has affected all the activities around here. Even the food crops we had planted are all dead and we are now back to the drawing board and surely not sure what to do next. I am hoping the situation will normalize but truly speaking I don't know where to get funds even for this month's repayment. Please let me resume next month. I am on my knees please.

    Hi lenders,

    I value you for the assistance you are offering me that has made me a better person than I was before I joined Zidisha. I wish to bring to your attention that currently I am experiencing some difficulties in repayment of my loan due to a drop in daily sales. But there is no reason for alarm since this is normally the case especially during planting season when farmers channel most of their funds to their farms. I have decided to reschedule the repayment until the situation normalizes. Thank you.

    Yours truly,
    Agnes Wambui.

    Hi lenders,

    I wish to bring to your attention that currently I am experiencing some difficulties in repayment of my loan. This is due to a drop in daily sales hence getting low income. But there is no reason for alarm since this is normally the case especially during this season where farmers are busy preparing their land and planting and therefore directing most of their funds to this noble thing. I am expecting to increase the repayment when the situation improves. I also wish to reschedule the repayment date to 26th of every month.

    I am sorry for any inconvenience.

    Yours truly,
    Agnes Wambui.

    Dear lenders,

    My name is Analin Saturria McGregor and I'm a Country Liaison Manager at Zidisha.

    Agnes messaged us asking about her options to modify her repayment schedule and plans to resume her repayments after assessing how can she complete this loan's repayment successfully in her current conditions. While she did not specify how her business was doing in her latest message, we will continue to keep you posted as we hear from her.

    Thank you for your continued support!
