About Me

I was born and brought up in a village called kebeneti in kipkelion west constituecy in kericho county. I was born in 1968 from a family of eleven. l have four brothers and seven sisters. I'm third in the family .My parents earn a living in farming and that is their source of income. I went to Lilloch primary in 1974 to 1982 and joined Taitta Towwett secondary school in 1983 for my O level whereby i completed form four in 1986.I joined Kericho rehabilitation centre for the persons living disability for my wood work course whereby I graduated as a carpenter.

My Business

My business deals with timber sales and sometimes furniture. It's located at Kedowa market Londiani division. I started the business through contributions from friends and well wishers. The contributions which I got enabled me bought tools for carpentry and joinery. The business grew gradually till I bought a scooter for splitting timbers whereby I started selling timbers apart from marking furniture. I had to add two people to help me in the work.

Loan Proposal

I will my use my loan to expand my existing business by increasing the stoke which is already there so as to fulfill the customers demand. I will look for trees worth USD100 to split timbers and remaining USD50 use for transportation, USD48 will use to educate my two children in secondary school. Thanks and l would be much grateful for you lenders.

    A very happy Samson was glad that I called him. He said he lost his phone the particular day we last talked and he has not been able to access his account nor reach me. He said he download zidisha app but it wasn't working since it had slot of technical errors. I advised him to download latest version of Google Chrome and use it to login to Zidisha. I also explained that the most important thing is that he keeps on repaying. I reminded him the paybill number of zidisha and he committed to repaying soonest. I am looking forward to see this happen.

    Yesterday I was able to call Samson, we discussed alot of issues related to Zidisha. I was able to explain to him the importance of repaying his weekly installments on time, I also brought to his knowledge about adjustment of amount payable in aweek. He was a very happy man to here actually Zidisha is practical. He didn't give a clear reason as to why he has not been repaying though he promised to resume his weekly payments this week. I am looking forward to see this happen.
