About Me

My name is Samantha, and I was born in Kitui County of Eastern Kenya. I am the first born in a family of six members. My father is a policeman working for Kenya Police Service and my mother is a farmer.

I went to primary school and later joined secondary school for my high school education. I then got a clerical job for a company dealing with food processing.

I later relocated to Mombasa where I got a job dealing with music production. I worked there for two years and then decided to leave and started my own business.

I am a hardworking person and a go-getter who believes in accomplishing what I set out to do.

My Business

After working in the music production business for two years, I felt that I had gained enough experience and decided to open my own business, which I have been running for the last two years.

I have overcome the initial challenges and I am now well-rooted in this field. My work mainly deals with mass production of CDs and DVDs for various local artists and selling the same. The business has a lot of competition, but I am getting a fair share of of the market. I aspire to take my business to the next level and I would like to take advantage of this opening through Zidisha to realize this dream.

Loan Proposal

As mentioned in my earlier posts, my business took a dip a few months ago. This impacted negatively on my growth trajectory and the business now needs financing to take it back to where it was before.

I need money to stock more music as we head to the festive season, when most people tend to buy more music videos to watch with their families. For this reason, I will use the entire amount to buy a new stock of assorted music videos, which I know will do well during this period.

Thank you and God bless you all.

    Thank you so much lenders for the last day push. I hope other lenders will come forth within the next 3 hours before this loan expires.

    Dear lenders, Thank you so much for having loaned me. The loan gave my business a big boost. Unfortunately, I was forced to move out of my premises by my landlord and that explains why my repayment went down for a while. I was able to get another place and I have built my music business slowly and I have now recovered. The business still needs some boost so that I increase my stock to cater for more clients.

    Dear lenders, I spoke to Elizabeth yesterday and she promised to resume her loan payment next week. She informed me that her business closed down and she is now looking for alternative means of repaying the loan. Thank you for your patience.

    My business has dipped due to low season, which is normal at the beginning of the year. This will change in a few months time and revert to my original amount. I hope you will understand my predicament and once more thank you for your continued support.

    According to my estimates, the business will pick up again sometime in March this year.

    I made my payment on October 25th via code number FW51FN792 but this is yet to reflect on my loan profile neither did I receive a confirmation message from your end. Please rectify this before it affects my repayment record.
