About Me

Dear reader, thank you for this chance.
I was born in a remote village of central Kenya between Mt, Kenya and the Aberdare ranges a few km south of equator. i grew up as herds boy and tilling our firm to meet basic needs was the order of the day. Due to this, I earned life skills to survive with least available resources. I secured a a seat in a competitive provincial / county high school after a commanding lead in class 8 exams. This granted me a vacancy in a one the best high school in my province then. I got away with a vacancy to a technical university where I was admitted for a course in electrical and electronics engineering (telecommunication option). Life was not a bed of roses. I got a diploma in the year 2002. I have a dream to do masters and beyond. I have exploited my electronics engineering skills to model a business that is growing and am very proud since am doing what i love doing and skilled for that mater, very few of my colleagues have managed it this way.
I got a chance to work with a security firm involved in major projects in installation of alarms, access control , cctv, security doors but my relief was short lived, the Israel based director died, and that was the of the story of the company. I secured a vacancy after sometime in an engineering training firm as training coordinator. I was in charge training department. My best time came when I was asked to recruit participants in the annual local IEEE 2007 contest. I managed 144 successful participants from a personal target of 500. This was the best then but I had not surpassed even a half of my target. First 2 winners were awarded a trip to Google headquarter. I lost my job a few months later. My file was clear of any wrong doing but since I had no proper documentation to argue my case, I moved on.

My Business

My business

Dear lenders,

as a telecommunication technician, i have heavily invested in embedded systems development that has a very promising future as this field is not exploited in my country and desire to be among those who will be regarded as pioneers of the industry.
i have identified and made my initial commitment for Prolab ltd office and i believe by end of this month i should be able to clear the balance. It is situated on a very strategic point near Ruiru town 500 meters off thika supper highway along eastern bypass for those who can use google maps or for any one who may wish to visit. Am in three rings building currently under construction, just a few meters before kamakis, the popular meeting point.

My application for this loan is intend to help market my products .

The key products i want to market are as follows in order of priority

1: MILK DISPENSER cleared with model

2: GREEN HOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM cleared with model

3: HOME AUTOMATION KIT in progress

i trust to be succeed with zidisha.


Thank you all

    hi all, this is just to update my lenders am progressing on well despite some business hiccups after my consignment failed to be delivered in time and got late with three weeks. this affected my plan negatively and was not in position to repay my loan timely and adjusting to lower amount was not also possible at that time.
    i hereby confirm all is well now and the amount will be paid as scheduled.
    am experiencing some teething problems but am really learning how to make effective decision and adhere to the business discipline .

    thank you all , i apologize for the inconvenience.

    thankyou.

    regards David for prolab ltd

    Hi all , Good morning Mr. Leonardia, thank you for the good will to support me though the loan never went through. i managed to import the items i wanted for milk dispensor and am struggling with system structure which i need to raise about 600usd and trust in God i will make in good time.

    Thank you so much and the rest who have supported me in the past . Am a bit down with Zidisha loan application due to a technical challenge i had during last loan i had though i paid it all though not on weekly interval as was required but i settled it within the time period i was to clear it. In my view this affected my credibility with most leaders and I have to soldier on even if it will take much longer but am very optimistic am in a great course.
    There are numerous opportunities here in Kenya but the means to tap on them for starters is the key challenge.

    Be blessed

    Good morning,
    dear lender , i wish to extend my gratitude for the good will you have found to support me to finance my business . it was a little difficult to meet my weekly loan repayment schedule following market and client trends but i kept going and hope i have not disappointing you.
    i am learning a lot in the process of loan repayment as i realized the commitment to meet weekly date has become a part of my dairy diary planning point no.1.
    the customers are also interesting as they make such a definite commitment to pay in time just for the date of payment comes and they give such reason as to why i should just wait little bit and you are left to bear with them but little do they know the chain effect they are causing on my zidisha schedule. they are customers we have a great relation and failure to listening to them would be unfair as i also at times request for an extension for my service delivery due to the nature of circumstance i may into.
    thank you my dear leaders once more. i am proud you .
    God bless you abundantly !

    yours faithfully

    dear lender , am thankful this far though i get late at times, this is due to inevitable situations that arise during running of my schedules and also customers delay a bit but all is in good faith and will finish off the loan in actual time.

    The business is going on well though encountering some challenges but am managing them well .

    Am looking forward to opening a new office soon but am working out the details .

    Am often off to field and some parts of Kenya are inadequately networked and communication is a challenge. kindly bear with me when i go too quiet but am always alert of my Zidisha schedule.

    Establishing a functional company with limited resources is such mountainous experience i had not foreseen but thank God Zidisha is here. Am hoping that the spirit for zidisha will not fade away . AM BANKING ON YOU

    1. I will publish the website which is at its final stage.
    2. Buy incubator parts to start my backyard poultry farming

    The poultry idea is meant to generate some income due to unsteadiness of my income am undergoing . i also will provide a solution to zidisha members near me when i fully test it since i have the skill to go full automation as much as poultry farming can go. for now i will do it as a personal project until when i get tangible results. i will develop the system from incubator, brooder and feeding and will be gsm enabled for my supervisory. i may not have seed money to lend for now but i have a skill that can be utilized by fellow lenders for optimizing their productivity and its why i want to test this poultry idea besides the income i will generate.

    Thank you dear lenders for your support . i feel blessed to have you with me . my dream is gradually redeeming from a fading hope. I hope and i believe we are going far . be blessed abundantly.

    Hi Mr. Poul and madam Hope. am very fine and was tightly scheduled with university students who were doing their final year project assignment for the last 2weeks. i feel a bit absent and not in touch with you. i would like to share more with you but i don't prefer posting too much of what am trying to do since am a market research based person hunting for opportunities that require technical approach to grip the niche. i go quiet during development and test period and only pop up back when marketing. but as my lenders i think it will right to keep up to date but not in the open zidisha domain. just a thought please

    regards
