About Me

Am Paul Atari Bundi, born in 27th October 1989 in Nyamira county, Nyanza province Kenya. Am the second born in a family of three.My parents are small scale business people back in my home town. I am currently staying in Mtwapa in Mombasa city.
I started my primary school studies in 1996 and sat for my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination in 2004. I later joined Amabuko secondary school for my secondary school education and later transferred to Amasege secondary school where I sat for my Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations in 2008.
I joined the now Technical University of Mombasa for my college studies in 2010 where I took a Diploma course in Information Technology for three years. I graduated in October 2012. My dreams were to proceed to higher levels to do advance my studies but due to lack of funds I had to look for a job or engage in some business so as to accumulate enough funds that will see me through the higher studies.
Since my graduation I have kept myself busy with doing various jobs and businesses. Immediately after graduation I started working in a local private college, Luv Computers, in Mombasa city. There I worked as a Computer trainer where I taught computer applications programs and Graphics and design. I worked for three months and later shifted to another college, Diverse ICT College, in Mtwapa-Mombasa where I worked up to october 2014. I resigned from teaching job to concentrate in my businesses. Am currently running my general retail shop which seems to pick up well

My Business

I will use the Zidisha loan to add more stock to my shop so that I can achieve my goal of making high profits. My shop deals with general retail gooods which also include groceries. I have used the Zidisha loan before to improve my business and therefore granted another one will greatly improve my business. The business is currently generating well but i want to expand it to maximize profits . I will repay the Zidisha loan through profits that will be gained from the business

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to add more cereals stock to my shop.currently I can not meet the demand of the cereal required by the customers.I don't want to disappoint my customers as this will portray a bad picture for a starting business.I want to expand it to a bigger business and with the zidisha loan I am very sure this will be my journey to bigger dreams.

    I am currently an intern at Zidisha (a Client Relationship Manager).
    I went to visit Mr. Atari in Mtwapa.
    He is a very intelligent man and very kind.
    Overall I spent a great time with him and from my discussion about his business, his loan experiences and everything, I can recommend him as a trustworthy borrower.

      Hi Paul,

      this is Roberta. I am a volunteer at Zidisha and I work on the process of disbursing loans.

      I can see that you have accepted your bids on Friday, October, 18. We normally work on the disbursement process from Monday to Friday, not during the week-ends. Once we will complete the last checks on your loan application, we will proceed with the disbursement of your loan.

      Please, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

      Thanks and best regards,

      Roberta
      Zidisha Team
