About Me

I am a Kenyan citizen aged 32 years named Dinah Koyo born in a family of five children. I live in Mombasa and am working as a marketer and to improve my lifestyle i have started a small business in Mshomoroni which earns me around 20 dollars per day.My hobbies are reading, listening to soft music i.e gospel and i love singing .I wish to get myself enrolled to a good music school to upgrade my singing ministry.The more money i get the more i move to my upgrade.I was introduced to Zidisha and i am now asking for a loan that will help upgrade my life.

My Business

In Mombasa i live in Mshomoroni area a highly populated area where i started my kerosine business like one year ago.I stated it with around forty dollars ($40) and kerosine amounting twenty liters which i sell in bits of ten shillings twenty shillings thirty shillings fifty shillings and for hundred shillings.This i sell to common mwananchi (citizens)with an average lifestyle who can afford that amount.This give me an additional in come from the salary that i am usually paid.I would wish to expand this business to enable me get even more profit that will help me in my stabilization.

Loan Proposal

Thanks to the loan which has highly increased my savings due to the profit increase of up to ten dollars where I have managed to save almost 400 dollars meaning in the near future my life may be a little bit comfortable if I manage to get a kerosene pump. With the next loan I wish to buy a kerosene pump and that is my next project.

DEAR lenders,
I would wish to apologize for the loan that i have not paid for quite some time .
and to add to this is a kind request to allow me to start repayment again .i traveled to UK and i left all my details with my sister whom i have been sending money to pay my loan on my behalf and i only came back on TUESDAY and on Thursday i received your warning text in my phone. i was not aware that my sister has not been doing the payments .kindly give me time to re-organize my self and start payments again.
and please remove my name from the CRB LIST, I WILL DO MY BEST as soon as possible to clear the loan because it is through this loans that i managed to go for studies.i am requesting you to kindly hear my plea.

i have just began my new job and i will begin my payment again at the beginning of the month of September.
Kindly understand,

Regards DINAH

Dear lenders, i humbly ask for a reschedule for my loan, for the past few months i have experienced some financial problems that is why i have opted for the reschedule. I am still committed in paying the loan, although i have been late in payments i am working hard to pay it in full

Dear all my lenders and the whole Zidisha team,i am thankful for the loan.I am however sorry for my delay in my repayments, i had a wedding that happened at the end of last which consumed a lot of my savings.This should be i private issue but i thought i should be open,i therefore wish to reschedule my repayments to a smaller amount before i recover.I believe you will all understand and i promise to honor my repayments.

I phoned Dinah today 8.42am . She says she has been facing difficulties in her business but she will send in her arrears today.

Let's wait for her to fulfill this promise to her Zidisha lenders.
