About Me
My
name is David Odhiambo, am a male Kenyan aged 26yrs, I dropped in form
three because I could not get my primary education certificate which I
sat in Uganda, and therefore was time barred. Am singe and a
businessman, I operate small scale businesses that have kept me busy
enough not to engage in unlawful activities as is the case with many
school drop – outs. I started business to sustain myself and am happy
with the decision I took, though I plan to finish high school once I get
the documents and am saving towards that goal.
My Business
I
ventured into business fourteen months after all my efforts to go back
to school proved futile. With little savings and part of the school fee I
was to pay for my final year, I started a mini shop. A year later I
converted the shop into M-PESA which I operate to- date. However, I
don’t have enough float which sometimes results into low business
return. With this loan I will increase the float which will translate
into higher commission. On average I get $127 monthly commission and
another $46 from the sales of Safaricom products such as credit
vouchers, lines and sim swaps, and phone charging.
After paying all the bills am left with $24 as my personal savings. I
will use this plus any other surplus that will come from improved
business to service the loan. As I look forward to owning an M-PESA
agency in the near future.
Loan Proposal
Thank you for activating my profile. I will use this money to increase the float for my M-pesa Till. This will enable me serve many customers and subsequently increasing my income. With improved income I will grow my business to my desired level by always meeting the customers demand. Am looking forward to working with Zidisha for a better future.
