About Me

I stay in Kahawa Wendani by myself. I am not yet married, but I hope fully God will bless me soon. I was born and raised here. My father was in the army and as a result we stayed at Kahawa Barracks. After my secondary school education, I joined the Nairobi Institute of Technical Studies, where I learnt skills in carpentry and painting. After my course, I started looking for employment, mostly as a casual labourer, mostly doing the odd jobs related to carpentry, and I have managed to sustain myself well. During my free time, I play football and go hiking.

My Business

My business involves working as a casual labourer making wooden things, mostly furniture, and even building fences. I also paint walls and any other item that I may be contracted to. I get jobs from recommendations from other customers and as a result make a living from doing the perfect job for my customers. I currently have a stand within my neighborhood, and I plan to set up a bigger shop soon. With the money I make, I save and the rest takes care of my basic needs.

Loan Proposal

I need an amount of Ksh 19,000 (equivalent to USD $190) so I may buy a tool box for my carpentry and painting work. With these tools, I won't have to hire tools anytime I get a big job; since I'll be having all the tools I need, I will be in a very good position to save and repay my loan well with no stress. Thanks.

    I first lent to Mack back in July 2017, he's consistently proven to pay his loans on time, & I would happily lend to him again :-)

    He is appreciative, & just generally seems like a lovely optimistic chap with a good head on his shoulders. Also seems to be a hard worker & a good communicator. Definitely has my support.

    Good luck with all your future endeavors Mack.
    Emma.
