About Me

I was born in 1985 in Nakuru County in Kandutura farm where my parents were living. I was educated at Kandutura primary school and reached class eight. After doing my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education I didn’t manage for secondary school and I was forced to help my parents with shamba work for a year. I was then taken to a mechanics workshop for training where I learned mechanical work. I am married blessed with a boy

My Business

After learning mechanical work, I was employed for a year then I decided to start my own business of selling spare parts of motor-bikes and doing services. In fact people comes from far because of my good service and sometimes I go round meeting people where they are and they do buy spare parts.When i visited my customers i do get more than being in workshop.

Loan Proposal

I will be in a position of buy spare parts that my customers asks and mostly the moving ones which will not be dead stock. I do hope that my new stock will attract more customers for they will be getting whatever they need instead of going to another shop. From this even my shop will look different and this will bring more customes those will make my sells go up.

    Dear Lenders,

    I have been in contact with Stephen a few times in the past month, to help him with rescheduling as he has had some difficulties doing so. I think we have it figured out now, and he hopes to reschedule soon. Thank you for your patience with this- it is one of the difficulties in working many time zones away and calling via Skype!

    Best wishes,
    Bayle, Zidisha Team

    Dear Lenders,

    I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Thuo today, and wanted to update you on his situation. He has had some family difficulties resulting from the illness of his son and himself, which had put him behind with his business. Now, things have improved for him. Mr. Thuo and I discussed the next steps in helping him get back on track with his loan, and I will be actively engaging with him to ensure he is assisted in rescheduling if need be.

    I will make sure to update you if I hear more about Mr. Thuo!
    Bayle, Zidisha Client Liaison Intern

    I am very sorry for the delay I have made of not paying the loan at the right time. My child got sick and I have been struggling with him for a month and immediately he got recovered I got sick where I cant do any job and every time I try to pay I fail. By this time I am trying to report to my job and I decided to reschedule my loan so that I can have good time to get money. Bear with me please.
