About Me

I am 49 years old ,the first born of a family of seven siblings.Iam married to one wife named Catherine Oyier and God has blessed us with five children.I went to Nyadolo primary school 1976-1984 then Wangatal secondar school 1985-1988,then I joined Mawego Technical college in 1989-1991 ,I didi building and construction and now I deal with building stones from quary and supplies to buiding sites

My Business

I started the business of hiring quarry from the land owners and cutting the stones three years ago with a capital of ksh.100,000.the business has grown up to ksh.300,000 in capital .The challenges I face in the business is high cost of hiring unskilled workers and high cost of transport of stones to the building sites for customers.
What makes me succeed in these business is that I am a professional stone cutter,therefore my stones are of good quality thus high demand and also to add on that I am faithful to customers.Iam also present through the year i.e Iam always their for them

Loan Proposal

If I am given this loan amount then I will lease a quarter an acre of land for quarry mine Business at a cost of 370 Us Dollars.
This will benefit many people in that I will now employ 4 more worker in my quarry mine and field.
This will also benefit my customers because I will be able to supply them with building stone at any time they need them.
This also will benefit me because I will get more profit in this Business.
I expect to get 50% increase in my Business if this is implemented .

    The rainfall has completely stopped the supplies of building stones because of the bad roads in this region and for that reason I have no sales at all and therefore I con not afford to pay the amount scheduled ,please bear with me.

    I would like to thank all my lenders who funded me in my last loan which I have just completed servicing,
    This past loan made a big different in my Business before I was given the loan I had one employee but after the loan I increase to two employees and now possibly if am given this loan amount I will increase to Four employees because I will have enough money to pay them as they do the work.

    The last loan that I have just completed repaying has really benefited me greatly in that I was able to hire two Quarry laborers and I was able to pay them well and also to transport the stones to different locations at ease .
    I therefore asking for another to enable me grow further this Business in many part of this nation.
    Thank you for considering me again .Long live Zidisha.

    This is a dry season and it is so Good with this Quarry business because the Lorries do not access these roads when it is raining ,because the road is muddy and therefore they get stuck.
    Please fund me when it is sunny season so that I hire workers to cut the stone and also dress it and we transport them to Nairobi ,Nakuru ,Kisumu,Kisii and nearby towns,It is a viable business ,and I will honor my Ledge to pay in good time and go to the next level.
    God bless Zidisha lenders
