About Me

My name is Geoffrey Siocha from Nakuru - Lanet division. I was born and raised up in Kisii County in Kenya.

I grew up in Kisii which is an agricultural zone and is evergreen and fertile. We were introduced to farming at a tender age since our parents were full-time farmers. They practiced both livestock and crop farming in large scale.

I started rabbit farming soon after my secondary school upon arrival in Nakuru. The demand for rabbit meat was high and I spotted an opportunity and went for it.

My Business

I keep about 20 rabbits and I am planning to enlarge my current rabbit pen to accommodate about 100 rabbits.

Besides rabbit rearing, I have managed to rear chicken and dairy goats over time. I currently have 200 chickens and two dairy goats.
I have also been able to open a small information center to serve my community. The center has gradually grown with the help of Zidisha. I help to improve computer literacy skills to the members of my community for the betterment of the future since there is a great advancement in technology in our country and beyond.

I currently intend to buy seats that are more comfortable, in my information center, to curb the challenge that I have heard from customer complaints in the recent days

Loan Proposal

I am intending to buy some machines and equipment that are needed in my small cyber cafe. This is due to the arising need and demand of these assets. I need to purchase a photocopier machine which can be able to print documents, scan and photocopy. Precisely, i look forward to buy a machine that is called RICOH ( Aficio MP 171 SPF) this machine is efficient and convinient since it can be able to work both mannually and automatically. It's speed is relatively good since it can do 17 pages per minute.

    I deeply apologize for the late response.
    I have heard bad times here, struggling with sickness and job and I have not been in business for all this while.

    hi lenders!
    pls, receive my apologies. I haven't been able to repay my bills as they reflect in my repayment schedule. I felt sick and my business has been closed for nearly a month. I have several bills accumulated as a result. I kindly ask to be allowed to make some payment in a week's time. I also request to adjust my installment amount. Thank you.
    God bless you.

    God bless you.

    Hi Lenders
    I first want to thank you all for the support. I got the funds though after some patience since I had to reapply over and over after the expiry of subsequent applications. I was able to add four more sets of desktops with a high quality. I can now have some connection to the internet for full time browsing by customers and others for community enlightenment, as this was my aim and objective from the start. Thanks to all my lenders for making this to work out.

    I am here again to confirm to my lenders that I added four more desktops at my center and everything is working well. I have managed to deal with the issue of people coming to queue only for the two desktops that existed before. Thank you.

    Zidisha has improved my life in a big way. It is going further even to make my community great since the people are really happy with the service they are getting, a service which would have remained a dream were it not for Zidisha. I am now able to make a reasonable income out of which i am able to clear my rents and bills.

    I am thankful that my rabbit business is progressing. I haven't reached where I want to be but I thank God I am not where I was. Due to the fact that I am an entrepreneur, I have realised an opportunity where I can serve my community well. This is an idea I have heard for three years down the line. Where there is a will, there's always a way. I had thought of openning a computer or literacy class together with a cyber cafe to help me enlighten the community. I realise strong need for computer awareness especially with the rise in technology. I have already found a premise and paid rent. I have set up the room by doing professional partitions. I already have furniture and I'm now working on machines. I need to buy four computers to start with. Lendors I dearly rely on you for this.

    I specially take this moment to thank my lendors for the continuous support.
    I have been able to move some miles ahead of where I was initially. May God bless all those who stand to fill the gap in my financial life. I can't forget the endless support. I have tried to stabilize though bit by bit.
