About Me

I am a Graphic designer and fine artist based in Nairobi Kenya. I graduated from Kenya Polytechnic in the year 2002. I thank God for the great talent he gave me which i love and practice on a daily basis and which is also a source of income to me, I specialize in Portrait painting and drawing and also abstract painting. I also do general graphic design and printing services. I am a humble person who loves traveling, reading, drawing and playing rugby. My physical area of business is mainly Nairobi but i intend to expand to the larger Kenya and eventually Africa.

My Business

I am in the Art and design business, I mainly make paintings for Hotels and individuals and also for sale at galleries and curio shops in Nairobi and its environs, from this art works i generate quite some income through out the year but more during high tourist seasons. I also do Digital art i.e graphic design which i graduated from Kenya polytechnic with, this being the main source of income i do it on daily basis. i design artworks from thumbnail stages through comprehensive stage to the final artwork at a fee. and thereafter outsource the printing work to other places from which i also make a profit. i generate asn average of about USD300 monthly which i intend to grow with your support.

Loan Proposal

When i get this loan, it will assist me in the purchase of inks and screens for printing at an estimate of 35$, i have already sourced for the T-shirts since this is an existing order and i had some savings which i used for the purchase. i have been struggling to do this kind of jobs which normally payment is made in Che ques upon delivery. Upon hearing Zidisha , i knew this was my perfect partner in my business endeavors. I intend to develop a very strong relationship with lenders so that in future i don't turn down big orders due to lack of finances. The T shirts i am printing are for Great Rift Peace initiative , a local organization based in Marigat Baringo County. The other 15$ will come in Handy in Transportation and delivery of the T-shirts.

      Hello Shem Omari, Sputnik wrote in forum that you wanna start to repay your loan.
      Does your number for the disbursment still the same as before? If it still the same then you can start to repay it immediately, if it has changed then I suggest you make a support ticket first.
      Login to your account-click your name- go to help page- there are options ticket there, choose technical. Inform them that you wanna change your number and attach your ID photo for Verification.
      When Zidisha update your phone number, I think you can pay one installment first then adjust your payment to Zero then adjust your payment again to your choice. so the new schedule will be up to date to this year. Or, you can make support ticket and ask zidisha suggestion about your situation.
      I really appreciate your intentions to clear your loan.
      Good luck

    Whatever happened with his most recent loan? I was starting to get the impression that Shem had become deceased, however his public Facebook page is still getting updated (including with what looks like a political campaign for a municipal government seat from last year), and in the meantime no payments have been made since the loan was first disbursed almost three years ago. What's going on?
