About Me

Am a father of three children (two girls and one boy), I have lived in Mbita Township for the past 20years and am not intending to move any time soon. My last born son is in class three and the eldest in class five. I am an experienced teacher and I manage a Nursery and Pre-primary school here at Mbita, during my free time I offer guidance and counseling to teenage boys and girls who do come to our center for computer lessons. I started my business after noticing the importance of education in our community since I understand that the root of education is what determines the quality of education and in my community most parents did not understand the importance of early childhood education so I started the Nursery school with an aim to better the standard of education in my community.

My Business

My business involve managing a school where I and my staff we teach children who are starting school these are aged 3years and above for baby class is 3years to 4years and then Nursery is 4years to 5years then is Prue-Unit that is 5years to 6years,then from there we graduate them to early Primary that is from class 1-3, in my School I have seventeachers and two cleaners and one secretary so in total, I have 10 staff members, business is good since the community appreciates our work and they are very co-operative. The school business needs alot of capital especially at the start-up level, I need to buy chairs, games equipment and stationeries hence the need of a loan from ZIDISHA.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy stationery for my school this include books,chalks,charts and pens that will sustain me for the whole term this will cost Ksh11, 000 and so with the Zidisha funds I plan to add to my savings buy the stationery that will help my school see more profits throughout the term since I will not need to be buying the stationery every time and that will allow my staff members to enjoy their work and so also to boost their morale. I look forward to having a good profit and repaying the loan on time.

    Dear Zidisha team,
    I have spoken to Daniel Orwa about his loan, he said he is sorry about the late payment and right now the the school is closed so theirs money problem, but he will make his payment this week..
    I have told Daniel that he can reduce his payment up to 100/- and pay for the days he as not paid and when business goes up he can increase. He said he will do so.

    Thank You,

    Dear Zidisha Team,

    I have tried to call Daniel but he is not answering my call. I have taled to Emaculate Odhiambo family member. I have asked her to talk to Daniel to adjust his loan so that he can be on time payment. I have even told Emaculate that next time Daniel will need a higher amount but will not pay because of his poor payment. I have requested Emaculate to ask Daniel to call me so that I can show him on how to adjust.

    Thank You,

    I want to thank my lenders for lending me a total of KES 9,250 that I am going to use in purchasing stationery and books for the nursery school project to benefit about 200 orphaned and vulnerable children learning at our downtown campus in Mbita, Kenya. We do appreciate the good gesture of ZIDISHA lenders.

    I have desired to use them but they are expensive here in Kenya. I would use them if I get them.

    Hi Daniel,
    Have you considered white boards and white board markers? I noticed another Kenyan school teacher decided to use them instead of chalk which breaks easily. Just a thought.

    The ZIDISHA loans have enabled me to buy several teaching AIDS and Learning materials that have helped me a great deal in my classwork. I will repay my 2nd loan in good time to enable me access more loans for improving my classwork in future. I want to sincerely thank you for having chosen my business to lend.

    Dear Zidisha Team,

    I have talked to Daniel and requested him to adjust his loan. He still does not understand how to adjust, but I have requested him to go to a cyber and then give me a call and I will show him on how to adjust his loan. He says he is in a remote place sometimes there's electricity. But if he gets there by tomorrow because it is a long distance he will give me a call. That is why Daniel as been putting less money but he does not know how to adjust. I will get in touch with him tomorrow.

    Hello Zidisha Team,
    I have talked to Daniel to adjust his loan and pay for the days he has not paid so that he should not have a bad record and also write and post a comment to zidisha team. Daniel says he has been sick that was not able to reach the shopping center to the cyber to adjust his loan and pay for the mentioned dates. The shopping center is a distant. He says he will do it tomorrow Friday.

    Thank you Zidisha
