About Me

My name is Jeremiah Wesonga I was born on 22nd of october 1990. I was born in afamily of six children and I am the fourth born. I went to a school called Kingandole Secondary school in Busia county. I later on trained as a welder inthe year 2012 to apprenticeship at Oduwa egineering workshop in Nairobi. Later I worked with douwa for about three months before starting my own workshop called Wesonga Engineering workshop. I am married to one wife with one kid. Generally I can say that I am ahardworking man who bel;ieves in eating from my own sweat. I also value honesty as I know its one very important pillar in social life.

My Business

I run a welding workshop business which I started inthe year 2013 month of March. My business entails weding and fabrication od grilled doors windows and any toher item that needs to be welded. I buy my materials from the hardwares which are mainly welding rods and black sheets also twistes , square and round bars. For the period I have done this business I realized its avery lucrative business if you have enopugh capital to make ready made items for sale. With enough capital I can even take orders from building sites and make doors and windows to syupply to them. I stand abetter chance to go far in this business simply because my area of operation I am the only one with very minimal competition. I am also very well skilled after having been in this field for more than two years. This busines is very profitable because you can find the material use d to make like one normal door can cost like $ 35 and such door when sold it goes for lowest amount of like $65 So you can see the profit is almost 100%. So if I get this money I will be able to go far in my business.

Loan Proposal

I thank you all lenders, as my business has been increasing well. I wish to put a request of the above a mount which I plan to spent as follows:
1. Buy anew welding machine which will cost me Kshs.17,000 to help me when I get work to go in the field I can carry it and retain the current in the workshop as I can now hire somebody to help when the work is a lot.
2.The rest I will use to buy more material for the making of steel windows and doors for display. This will cost me roughly Kshs 15000.
3. The other amount I will but welding rods, cutting and grinding disks and paint.

    Dear lenders,

    I am very sorry for the long time I took to make my repayment. The money really helped to boost my business. However, the people I employed in my business messed me up, so the business did not do well. I will reschedule ones I stabilize. Thanks.

    The loan I took helped me to become stronger in my business. Well before I met zidisha I was almost closing down m workshop . As I could not afford to pay rent buy raw materials for making steel doors and windows. But with the loan I have been able to stabilize my business and I can say thank you so much and kindly consider me in my next loan application.

    Dear esteemed Zidisha members. I take this opportunity once more to thank you for the great efforts you make to help people like us with small businesses to prosper. I have seen great change since I was introduced to Zidisha. More thanks go to lenders and managers of Zidisha. I have seen great improvement since I took the loan I am servicing. I have been able to increase my stock of raw materials, acquired a grinder, and also bought a new welding machine from the profit. My customer base has also increased, and this has seen me get more serious customers. I would like to increase my repayment amount so that I can allow more people to be funded with loans. Thanks.

    Dear lenders!

    Mine is to thank you for the constant support you give to me. The previous loan really helped me to rise again when I was falling. It also helped other people around me like the people I.always employ to assist me with work. They use my workshop to earn their daily income as they help me excell.

    I must appreciate the fact that you have again started supporting me. This loan will be of great help to me as I have explained. May God bless you.
