About Me
I am a Kenyan citizen aged 40, married and is blessed with four children among them, last born named zidisha. I am a business man who hails from a very poor background, but managed to prosper through the help of zidisha.I have experienced a lot of challenges in my life and my experience taught me self discipline. We could at times go without food because my father drank all the money and couldn't provide food for the day. I wish I were old enough, I would have taken him to court for the pains he caused us as a family. But on the other side, I may pardon him because I feel he made me realize that to archive in life, hard work must be highly emphasised.
My Business
I started business in a very difficult situation since I didn't have enough capital until I leant about zidisha, now I have numerous businesses, like wholesale and retail shop, cyber cafe, financial services and a p.s.v vehicle. all these achievements just came because of you lenders and that is why I appreciate you.
Loan Proposal
i will buy maize floor at $ 12 per bag, sugar at $25 per bag and in addition I will buy 1 printer at $60 and a laptop at 250. With the laptop and printer i will start a photocopying and printing shop and this will shorten the distance people will be traveling in search for those services and for maize floor and sugar, I will still supply the schools around. i believe the profit on the maize floor and sugar will be about 25% while on photocopying and printing, i expect a profit increase of about 60%.
