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 have identified a newly started secondary school in our area, I intend to supply them with the food staffs. they had given me a tender of supply so i believe that if i get this loan, then i could stock more for them. The items 1. Maize flour is $17.5 and sugar is $30. This will generate more income to me towards the fulfillment of my p.s.v vehicle dream and to the school, it will create availability of the items reducing the cost of traveling very far to get the items

    My completed loan was not fully funded and again more than 10000/= was deducted so I was unable to buy all that I planed, but still I was able to buy one computer which at least helped, I secured another employee and the workload decreased though I didn't realized profit as I would have if the loan was fully funded. I humbly request that this time round you may help me realize my business goal.

    i added computers and a printer to my cyber cafe i again added cash to my financial institution, the purchase made a lot of differences, i have gone as far as buying a car with the profit i got.my earnings have increased by at least 60%. i have added two computers and a printer and even increased my agency cash flow. The loan has really helped me a lot i have taken my children to school and even built my home, my eldest son is in the university. my young zidisha is now mature enough and is in pre-unit now i hope God will give me grace to educate her and in the near future,she could try to help the needy.

    wonderful people, you are life changing. in fact since i knew about you i have been blessed both physically and financially, i was stranded with a lot of credits i was owing people including banks, i was just about to be enlisted on crb because i could not pay the bank loans. i thank God who showed me zidisha when i went through my internet. i have gone as far as paying all the loans that i had by the profit i got from your loan and believe it, as at now i don't have any other loan apart from zidisha, i have a car reg. no KCL 757J and have built my home all these are achievement i have received because of Zidisha. I am happy that Zidisha changed my life and i am proud to testify.
