About Me

Am born and raised in Webuye Kenya and my dad has always taught me one thing, to be a part of the solution. in my life i have always tried to offer solutions to challenges that i and others faced. I have done diploma in sales and currently am employed as a security officer.
When i got to high school my dad lost his job and for a while i thought that my world had ended there. I never gave up though but i continued to look for ways to support my dad because at that point he was so down and stressed. I have worked in a cyber cafe` where i had to learn network configuration all by myself. And all through i have kept my head floating and a while a go i started researching on ways to reduce plastic waste.
There is a solution that can help and while reducing waste on earth we also can generate some income in return. Plastic is made from naphtha so we only need to return it to its original state where it can be consumed again.
Webuye is a land of grate people who are ready to engage in constructive ways of healthy and happy living. So it is the best place to visit, live or run a good business while enjoying the fresh breathe and amazing luhya food.

My Business

Am a young entrepreneur seeking to start a photography firm so am seeking a partner(s)to work together with me. I realize that passion is the only drive to successful service and business. In need of more investment to my photography business for the purchase of more equipment. So am looking forward to break even in the near future so that I myself can also become a lender to support others to also achieve their goals.

Loan Proposal

Am first of all so grateful for the work being done by Zidisha. It is a business saver. Am particularly grateful for the interactive environment that has been improved in recent times.
This particular fund is going to the improvement of the speed of my laptop that i use to improve picture quality and also to process a few business documents such as invoices and so forth.
In recent times the computers have really been improved greatly so i just want to be up to date so as to avoid unnecessary delays and slowdowns.
I am once again grateful to all those who made this program a success.
Thank you.

    Financial times have been hard the previous time and i attribute it to the just concluded elections. I manged to acquire more tools for my photo studio. Now more capital is needed to go to some structural adjustments within the studio including improving the speed of my laptop, and buying a different background cover for the studio. This funds will be put to productive use. thank you.

    Dear lenders Robert first of all he still thanks all lenders and he feels very guilty for the set back due to a drop in the business, i told him to update lenders and adjust the amount to a smaller figure so that he is always moving.which he agreed to.

    I love your idea for installments. If the installments can be a little less than the cost of kerosene, it should be very attractive. Best wishes!

    Hello Robert! Good luck with your apple stand! I am wondering, since you live in a rural area, if kerosene lamps are in use. Solar lamps can save a lot of money, are safe and more healthy. Perhaps you could go into business selling solar lamps. What do you think of this idea?

    • Robert    Sep 3, 2016

      That is a wonderful preposition and i just need to find out how to get them at a good wholesale price. The reason is that the disposable income of the locals is not that big and the solar lamps available cost quite a lot. So am working on a plan to get them to pay for lamps in installments.
