About Me

I was born in 1982 at Kimangu farm of Rongai district. I went to Rongai primary school between 1988 and 1996. I did not proceed with my education beyond primary level. I took up farming with my parents until 2005 when I opened my own business of shoe shinning. After opening my own business I also continue with farming in order to support some areas.I do live in sawa sawa estate,one km from Rongai Town using Rongai visoi marram road,Arasa stage.Plot no is 61Nafaka,Wainaina street next to Ndirangu house.

My Business

My business is shoe shinning within at Rongai township matatu stage.I have been there for a number of years serving the people of Rongai . They have been a blessing to me. I am working in a shade given by the County council where I pay monthly rent. After my daily income, I buy the next day stock and the remaining I do save for emergency cases.

Loan Proposal

I will use the money wisely by purchasing 10 pairs of soles worth 15.000K.E.S.The soles will help me to make 10 pair of new shoes,which i will sell it at 1000 each by ten is 10.000.Also i will buy one bale of second hand shoes worth 20.000,this will make to be busy while repairing shoes,some of my customer prefer a second hand shoe because it rust longer than the shoes made in Kenya.The bale has 40 pair of shoes which 30 of them can be sold at K.E.S.1.500,by the end of the sale i will have to be with K.E.S.45.000.During my grace period i will have to make a total of about K.E.S.15.000,it will be easier to me to pay ml loan on time .The problem we have is only capital we can do more.The remaining a mount will construct my place of work.

Dear Lenders,

Due to a data entry error, a payment from Francis on November 21st was entered multiple times erroneously. Once this error is fixed in our system, the funds in your lender accounts will decrease accordingly. We apologize for this error and any inconvenience it causes you!

Thank you,
Bayle, Country Liaison Manager

Dear Lenders,due to unavoidable issue i will not be able to continue with my current repayment.This forced me to reschedule my loan at the moment . In addition i will be able to make the repayment without problem and my business will remain active because at the moment almost every thing is not under expected . Hope you will agree with my point and allow this
