About Me

I’ve a social personality and strongly grounded in my faith –Christianity. I come from a family of many brothers so I had an early exposure to driving. Overtime, I developed an immense passion for driving, especially Heavy Commercial Vehicles. Save for my young age, transporters here demand a 30 years minimum, I would be in Truck driver career by now. I spend most of my time at my workplace save for Sundays when I dedicate the morning to attending church. I also have my relatives near so I am hardly homesick.

My Business

I run a barber shop in my small town Mazeras. Business is good here. Am well known especially due to huge following of my local church. However, shaving is limited in income due to number of customers one can have in a day. Therefore I’ve always wanted to use the extra space I have in my shop to sell wares. House hold goods are fast moving here. They include plastic basins, dust pans, jikos(charcoal burners), umbrellas, cups, sufurias( aluminium cooking pots) and plates. Some of my barber shop customers would easily be converted into new customers in my new line of business. I believe it has got potential since am living in a fast growing town. I’ve to expand if am to improve my standard of living. Thanks to Zidisha community my dream will come true.

Loan Proposal

It now another time i come to you again my lenders for another loan,whereby,when you lend me,i will continue improving my business which i had already started. it was nice and a good begining when i joined Zidisha,it helped me alot. am now asking a loan to buy more types of belts,wallets,shoes. Thank you for the support.

Mr. Munyao,

I see that you invited Mr. Nicholas Kasyoki to join Zidisha. I am considering helping to fund him, but before I do, I was wondering if you could tell me a bit more about him?

How long have you known him? Do you know him well?

Any information you can give me will be helpful.

Take care,
Cris

    Mr. Munyao,
    
    I'm glad to see things are going well for you. You have only a couple more payments on your loan before it's paid off. Are you planning on taking out another? If so, what will you use it for?
    
    Say hi to your cutie-pie nephew,
