About Me

I was born and raised in Nyakach district of Kisumu county. I did both my primary and secondary education there before moving to Nairobi where am doing my business. I like the most challenging things in life such as solving puzzles and playing games. I also like reading novels and watching the movies. In my business, I have been able to have a source of income to support myself and my family. My desire is to grow my business in a level to offer employment to others.

My Business

My line of business is the selling of white meat to hotels and individual consumers. I sell both fish and chicken at the city market in Nairobi's central business district located in biashara street. The future of this market is bright going by the constant growth in the demand I have witnessed in the past period of time being promoted by the campaigns against the heavy consumption of the red meat on health grounds.

Loan Proposal

I am requesting a loan of $650 to stock my business with the fresh fish and chicken for supply to the hotels and individual customers. By using that amount, I will be able to get a net profit of $350 which I will use to improve my business even as I repay weekly. This will be a benefit to me by having the much needed capital for business growth and also since it is a festive season, I'll be able to increase my market size and add new products. Thank you in advance for four continuous support.

Hello my esteemed lenders. I am sincerely sorry for the not having been able to submit my weekly installment in the past two weeks. This has been due to the hospital expenses that I incurred in the past two weeks. I want to assure you all that I intend to make up for the delay this week as I recover and also see that my final submission still remains to be 6th December as I have initially planned. Please I once again request you to bare with me on this. Thank you for your support and patience and have a great day.

Zidisha loan has enabled me to experience tremendous growth in my business from just a small business to a growing force to recon with. My customer base have been able to grow due to constant availability of fresh stock thanks to Zidisha for the deep freezer I was able to buy with the loan I received. Its my hope and prayer that many more lives will be able to change for the better. Otherwise let me wish each and every Zidisha member a merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.
