About Me

I was born 34 years ago in a humble family of 5. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Political Science and pursuing my MBA in the University of Nairobi. I have a dream of being a source of inspiration for children from poor, separated, divorced or single parents who are trying to figure out or struggling to come to terms with their family and social status. To me they are my brothers who need someone to mentor, encourage and guide them in making good decisions that will add value to their lives.

My Business

I am currently concentrating with developing different aspects of my life. Life's journey requires holistic, balanced and gradual growth to prepare one self to opportunities that may arise.

Loan Proposal

My PSV Insurance and County permit for my boda boda (Public Service Motor Cycle) expired on 31st December 2014 and the young man who operates it has been unable to operate the boda boda thus denying him the much needed income. That is why i am asking for a Zidisha loan of $120 to take care of the PVC Insurance and County permit.

    The reason for adjusting downwards my repayment amount is because of reduced income in my business. In December many people and institutions had closed and thereafter proceeded to spend their holiday upcountry. This had a significant effect on the Boda Boda (Motorcycle transport) business because we are used to carrying people who work in town (Nairobi) and children to school. The business is set to pick up from February.

    Dear Paul Graham,
    You have been such a blessing to me today. May God reward you, and grant your hearts desire according to His will. I plan to use this money in getting another motorcycle. This will significantly increase my income as i will be using it full time. The first one i have hired out which still gives me daily income.

    Thanks and regards,

    John Awuor

    I take this opportunity to Thanks my lenders who have been supportive and allowed me to achieve great milestones in my life. May God bless you. The first loan i applied for was used to get an operating permit and insurance, i started operating immediately i received it and it went a long way to get by business back on track. The second loan that i have just completed was used for paying my part of the open heart surgery bill for my daughter. The surgery was very successful and I thank God. You can have a look at the discussions to see the photos and the progress she has made so far. After the surgery her medical expenses on drugs went down significantly. We are only incurring therapy costs. I take this opportunity to thank lenders for standing with me.

    Dear Lenders,
    The last two weeks have been straining, but we saw the hand of God. It is during this period that my daughter went through heart surgery.

    We bless the Lord for His goodness and mercies

    Dear Lender,
    On 23rd May 2015, we had the Mater Heart run (materheartrun.com/) that is an annual event. It is from this run that the Mater Heart run foundation raise funds for heart procedures. I am therefore expecting a date soon, and as i posted earlier there is a long waiting list of children for surgery. I will keep you updated as well when i get the dates. Thank you very much my lenders, the amount i received was taken to the hospital to pay my part of the hospital bill.

    Regards,

    John Awuor

    Hello Judith,
    I'm glad too and thanks for your support in raising the money. Amen, that too is my prayer. God is with her. I was at the Mater Hospital and the doctors are yet to schedule the date for the operation, i was told there is a line because other kids are also scheduled for heart operation. Once they set the date i will keep you posted and update you on her progress.

    Regards,
    John Awuor

    I take this early opportunity to thank you Judith for your contribution towards my loan proposal. It is very encouraging to know that someone in London is supporting me here in Kenya and directly connecting with and offering a solution to my difficult situation. May God enlarge your heavenly treasure.

    The loan that I received from Zidisha, came at a time when my boda boda (PSV motorcycle was grounded and am grateful for the lenders who financed my loan proposal. I was able to resume operation and earn daily income. I have been able to buy my sick daughter drugs and give her special dietary attention.
