About Me

I am an enterprising Kenyan citizen currently running my own music band comprising of twelve members. We have worked on three albums currently though I am faced with financial challenges of buying musical equipment for my band. I started the band two years ago with an intention of talent promotion and has so far worked so much in ensuring the attainment of my dream. So far I have attracted a large audience from different parts of the country and thus to the realization of my dream, I feel that I need to get some funding to enable me purchase some guitar for the band.
I have also undertaken music classes which have enabled me become a good instructor and commander of my band. I do vocal training and with the help of other tutors whom I hire, I am in a great position of handling much of the administration activities within my band with a lot of ease.

My Business

I run a music and entertainment band in Ruiru town. the band is comprised of twelve members from diverse backgrounds who are united by passion and common music interest. the band is united and motivated by the motto: Beyond the horizons and thus has attracted a lot of public attention within the Nairobian region and parts of central kenya thus gaining a lot of popularity. we have a drum set, one bass guitar, a simple piano, flute and we intend to purchase more equipments the sooner we get some funding.

Loan Proposal

I am requesting you to fund me purchase one guitar for my band which costs between $150 and $160. I have so far tried my best to purchase a few other music equipments such as a drum set for the band. This loan will aid me add to the little i have in purchasing the guitar.
I have been currently raising money through live performances and i hope that with enough equipment i will be in a good position of nurturing more talents and expand the band.
I look forward to your help. Thank you.

    Hello lenders, am requesting a reschedule of my loan repayment. Business has not been doing fine and I suppose am in a low season. The number of times we get hired for performances out there are not as much. But I hope as we near August, my band will get more gigs and hopefully I will be in a better position to increase the amount of money I pay each week. But one thing for sure, I will continue my repayment. Thanks a lot.

    My dear lenders and everyone at the zidisha community, I am sorry I have been unable to repay my last two loan repayments. I traveled home because there were problems at our home and came on Thursday 8th May 2014. But I have already paid on Friday 9th May Ksh. 1150. I hope I will catch up the repayments. I am happy Matoke Hesbon notified the community of my home journey. Thank you in advance again. I look forward to your understanding. I will continue repaying my loan.

    Dear lenders, Joan did not make a repayment on Friday 25th April because of an emergency at her home. She has called me this morning and expressed that she will repay the installment as soon as things clear within this current week.
