About Me

Hi,
Iam Robert Kivanze, i come from Western Kenya but currently stays in Eldoret, UASIN GISHU County. Iam a very hardworking young man with great potential. I was born in Nandi Hills, and raised up there in the Tea plantation. I come from a very humbl;e background in which my parents are tea pluckers.

I strived through the hardships that my family was going through and in the long run managed to go to the college where i passed well.

I work as a writer with a writing agency in my local town of Eldoret, through which i look forward to fulfill my dreams and if possible, redeem my family from poverty. Thank you

My Business

I studied Hospitality Management, but decided to choose another path of recent, this is the ever growing business of Freelance writing. Iam a writer currently working with different companies available in this city of Eldoret. I also work with international Agencies which involve with Freelance Writing such as Upwork and Freelancer. The reason why iam requesting for this loan is because iam lookjing forward to coming up with my own agency for writing in the industry.

Since my area of expertise lies in this industry, i want to establish myself in the industry, and come up with an agency of the sort. Coming entering this business requires money which i clearly don't have now. This is why iam requesting for the loan which i look forward to seeing my limit grow so that i can realize my dream, God willing by the end of this year.

This money i want to use in buying of computers, Radios for linking of Network and modem. This are just to name but the necessary equipments that will enable be establish myself. I look forward to getting funds through this platform, which is highly trusted by many.

About how i can pay the loan, iam a working person and expect to raise the the money needed to repay within the accepted time limit. Kindly consider me for this loan, through which you can make my dream of being an employer rather than employee come true. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

Though this loan, I wil be able to purchase more equipments for the setting up of Freelance Writing Agency. I still need equipments such as router which will cost between 50 dollars to 80 dollars. Kindly consider lending me the money so that I can set up a the firm.

    Hallo Michiel,
    It is true that agencies such as freelance and upwork pay well. I really like their rates which are more favourable than others. Also, Uvocorp and essay shark have got good rates. The only challenge with this accounts especially upwork is that it is not easy to win a bid. If you happen to have assignments especially in upwork, I will be happy to help you. My upwork account username is: Robertkiva. Thank you

    Hello Zidisha team,
    I am writing to apologise for the late payment of remaining 32 shillings on my loan. I did not realize that I still was remaining with this amount until today when I saw on my account that I do not qualify for a credit increase due to late repayment of my loan. I thought I had finished paying the loan long time ago since that was the information I received from my loan profile. It showed me that I had fully repaid my loan which then gave me no reason to worry. Kindly request that Zidisha team be helping us to unfold even slightest mistakes in our profile so that we don't find ourselves in this kind of mistakes. Help the members realize if they have not repaid all their loan even if it is 1 shiling so as to avoid this kind of misunderstandings that can affect the member's trust to lenders. Thank you. Again my apology.....
