About Me

Wow, I feel grateful to be accepted to this wonderful Zidisha family. My name is Elizabeth, most of my buddies calls me Liz' Am married and blessed with two beautiful children . I was born ,raised and Educated in Nairobi up to my primary level after which I moved to Kiambu county for my High school I loved and participated in sports while in school, I also participated in music contest in church and even won a trophy. After high school I went to college for my IT course and later a Secretarial course, I got employed for three years after which I quit my work to persue my interests in business with the savings I had.

I live in a multicultured community where i find it interesting to learn more about different tastes of culture. Every culture has got interesting unique things from others, from dressing, cuisine, beliefs music, dancing, they are many. My two children are clever in school and
One wish to become an engineer the other loves banking, During my free time, i love singing and listening to music, adventure and comedy.

My Business

My business is in Kitengela Town in the outskirts of Nairobi city, it deals with office services and stationeries where we offer typing services photocopy and stationery sales. Being situated on a busy street of the town, there is alot of paper work for offices, schools and institutions where my services come in. We charge
$0.5 per page of typing, I also manange to do three to four rims of photocopying per week @ $15 per rim, other stationeries also boost the daily sales. My profits goes to my children upkeep and assist in school fees. My desire is to continue to expand my business to meet the clients demands. One year from now i plan to start stocking in wholesale and employ 1-2 workers.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders,
I once again want to appreciate so much for your continued support. I humbly request for your assistance to raise a school fees loan for my daughters education. My Daughter entered her fifth grade this year which means her school fees has also been increased from from $300 to $350 per term. The loan I am applying for of $740 will enable me to pay school fees for her for the next two terms. I will repay the loan from my business which you had previously funded. I thank you so much and looking forward to a positive response, God bless you.

    It was a pleasure to lend to Elisabeth. She made regular repayments and repaid the loan early. I would lend to her again.

      Hello Cornelias,
      Try upload a profile photo that speaks about what you do. For example, if you have a store, take a photo of yourself in your store. If you are raising a loan for school tuition, you may choose a photo of yourself at a desk studying.

      Kind regards,
      vm

    Hello dear lenders, I am so happy to have completed paying my 1st loan of $100.I want to thank you so much for funding me, you have really helped me to improve my live positively and to grow my business to a higher level. The loan has helped me to grow my business to a new level, I was able to purchase a paper laminating machine and photocopying paper stock , I ve been able to make 150% profit by the time I have fully repaid, the profits have enabled me to acquire a binding machine which now has increased my profits further. Now I can take care for my basics without much straining.

    Hello dear lenders, my progress has remained positive, business is building by the day, from the laminating machine that I purchased from the borrowing, until now, I ve been able to do 143 laminations . This has given me a profit of around $80, this is 80% profit in 1.5 months. I wish to accumulate the profits and purchase a binding machine to enable me do spiral and tape bidding for books and copies. Thank you so much for continued support
