About Me

My name are Francis Karago Waiganjo. I was born in 1951 in Nakuru District, Gilgil Division.
I was enrolled in class one in 1958 in Eburru Primary School where I did my K.P.E examination in 1965. After that I joined Koelel Secondary School in 1966. And thereafter I dropped when in form Two due to financial problems. In 1969 I joined a private workshop where I pursued a carpentry course and obtained {Grade 3}. In 1973 I moved in a village called Ebuuru, where I got my wife and married. Am a father of 11 children, Five girls and six boys. I have take care of then from that year till to date where only two of them are in primary school.

My Business

In 1970 I started working as a carpenter in various institutions and many constructions. By 1980 I ahd already invested 30,000/= which I used as my capital and I started farming as my business. Since then my business had many challenges which included climatic factors, Biotic factors and price. In 1994 I resumed back to my carpentry work where I was employed as a foreman. While I was in that job I also continued with my farming business which gave out a good return.
In 2007 I resigned my carpentry work and continued farming where I usually cultivate various crops which gives good return. Although the business had a big challenge which is lack of capital to expand and maintain the business. So my production decreased but in 2011 I got a loan from a certain institution {N.E.HI} worth 120,000/= on that season I expanded the acreage of land and I got a good profit and payed back my loan. I am now expect in to get another loan from you of 60,000/= so that I can expand my business and get optimum profit and pay back my loan.
I would be gland and thank full if you provide me the mentioned amount.
Thank you.

Loan Proposal

I would be very thankful if you provide me with the loan i applied for. i wish to use the more in improving my business of farming. Thus buying fertilizer, good seeds and insecticides for my plants and also paying workers. The money will help me work well and later i will be able to pay it back well in time without any delay. Since the preparing of land is from this month onward, i hope i will use the money well for my own benefits.
Thank you.

    Dear lenders,

    Two weeks ago we received a message from Francis letting us know he has a senior relative at the hospital. This relative is completely dependent on Francis financially, which involves additional and unexpected expenses for Francis and his family, in addition from reduced work hours as a consequence of his caretaking duties.
    In developing countries, it is especially difficult to take care of the elderly. Hospitals are often understaffed and lacking space. Without the safety nets provided by insurance and subsidized healthcare services for the elderly that we've come to know in the developed world, often times patients are left to their own devices unless they provide absolutely everything necessary for their care. If the patient can't cover it, relatives, immediate or not, must step forward.
    We will connect Andrew with his Volunteer Mentor to ensure he is well informed of his options to manage his repayment schedule in this difficult time.
    We will keep you posted as we know more. Please accept our most sincere apology for not informing you sooner of this situation.

    All the best,

    Analin Saturria McGregor
    Country Liaison Manager at Zidisha.
