About Me

my name is prince furaha. i am trained in flight operations and a self made enterprenuer. i have also just began commercial farming. have done my first planting of onions and water melons. i run one business. i sell Masai sandals, khangas and vikoys. i get them from malindi and mombasa and sell them within. i however want to reach the international markets soon.
i wish to use this platform to get funds to expand my project and create employment for youths.
with time if my business does well, i wish to open a shop in the city centre and stock it fully.

My Business

i run a business of selling masai sandals, khangas and vikoy which i get from malindi and mombasa and sell within nairobi.
there is demand for this goods as they are unique and items such as khangas and vikoys are used here at events such as blankets and wines and sandals are mainly weekend wear.
for every $100 spent as capital, i make profit of about $40-45.
i need more clients so if funded, i wish to use it to boost my marketing and send a few pieces to a neighboring country.
i have interested parties in zambia, rwanda and burundi.i intend to use the cash to make a website and to make fliers to distribute and also appear in classifieds to ensure i get known to a wide range of people. if funded, i shall repay the loan by 25% interest in 3 months.

    Hi lenders. I talked to Prince today in the afternoon and he plans on clearing his arrears in the coming two weeks. His business is doing well and is grateful for the assistance he got from Zidisha.

    I've reached out to Prince and his number was off. I got the community leader Elvis who will visit him tomorrow to be able to get an update on his loan progress.

    Hi, Furaha.
    Looks like bidding closed before you could accept the bids. If this is the, please remember to monitor your funding loan closely & timely accept the bids next time you get fully funded. Sorry for any inconviniences, Furaha.

    i would like to reschedule my loan from ksh. 2608 to ksh. 200 weekly because at the moment, business isnt good. we have not many clients which makes me not have enough to repay. i am finding it difficult to repay with the current figures thus asking to reschedule so that i can pay comfortably the amount due.
