About Me

Am stephen egesa aged 29 years old, i went to school up to secondary level. while at school i participated in co curriculum activities such as athletics and physical education.when i was young i used to enjoy riding bycle,playing in the rain water, playing hide and seek games etc. when i came to the city of nairobi, i was living with my cousin where i depended on him in nearly everything.After a short time i made a decision to be independent and that is how i started my own business.

My Business

my business is to provide services to customers,i carry people and goods from one place to another a business known as "bodaboda". In a place i stay there are no public vehicles to carry passengers to the main stage which is along Thika-Nairobi super highway , therefore i take that advantage to do business. This business is flexible and reliable because i can do it at any time and also i can not miss customers who needs to travel. I use the the money to educate a child and invest.

Loan Proposal

i will use the loan to buy a cow which will cost about 16000 kes and and a goat which will cost about 4000 kes. i will take care of the livestock until they multiply. where i come from there are a lot of pasture and water and therefore they will not have a problem of it. i want to be a large scale farmer and therefore i request zidisha to fund me the money so that i can accomplish my vision.

    Hi,
    I am so much excited with Zidisha because beside, eradication of poverty and friendship relationship, it also enhances encouragement and motivation. Yesterday i was so much motivated with a Zidisha member called Kipruto Kiptarus who is also nicknamed as Rush a 23 years old man. From his story i found out that he started his business in 2014 may with 5 hens and a cock then later he was able to expand to two bulls and a secondhand motorcycle then after there through hard work, Zidisha , and the Favour of God he was able to improve further and now he wants to buy two plots. I wish him success.
