About Me

I am Gerald. I am a father of one boy child. I was born in rural areas of Kenya and later migrated to Mombasa city where I sell shoes and second hand clotes. I work in the streets of Mombasa town where I hawk my stuff from door to door. It is a tough job but I am glad it puts food on the table.

I am also an active member of my local catholic church in Mombasa city.

My Business

My business deals with selling of shoes and second hand clothes. I normally make about USD 200 per month from this business. I hope to move to a permanent address in future - finances allowing and this is where Zidisha comes in handy.

Loan Proposal

I want to add more stock to sell. The demand is going up since we are nearing the end of year and this is the time that sales volumes go up. Please help me reach my goal by funding this loan.
