About Me

I am Married and live with my wife and my two children. I was born in 1974 and raised by a single mother after my parents divorced while I was still a toddler my mother Educated me up to Secondary School and I was forced work as manual laborer so that I may raise money continue with my college education where I managed to qualified as Account Technician. I started a business of Poultry farming and opened a shop where I sell all type of mechanized goods,Fruits and vegetables. Use my profit to feed my family to expand my businesses and assist the share the food with my needy neighbor such as those which are HIV positive and orphans. My hobbies are reading, Jugging and watching Football and advocating for Women and Children rights.

My Business

In this business the cost of transport of Goods is very high and I would like Zidisha to Finance me so that to buy a second hand delivery vehicle and A computer to track and keep records and show other literate how to operate a computer.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to buy a second hand delivery Van to use to deliver my purchase from the market to the shop this will help me maximize my profit as I will reduce the cost of transport and deliver my goods in the shop for my costumers on it. Due to this I will be able to sell my goods at reasonable price and tract more customers who will by my goods in big volumes hence more sales.I will be able to by directly from the Manufacturer and main dealers at a very good quantity discount and enjoy the economy of scale.It will also help me deliver animal feeds for my Poultry farming.

Dear Lenders,

My Tomatoes crops were destroyed by heavy rains and this affected my farm yield and disorganized my loan repayment plan . I have planted more tomatoes which will started maturing after three months and I hope to bring my loan repayment current my then. How ever I would like to reschedule my loan payment to the minimal possible which I will be able to pay on weekly bases. I hope you will bear with me and accept my new payment plan
