About Me

I am blessed with two children who are both in local school within my community. I am employed at Kenyatta University in maintenance department.

I started wholesale business which is based in Kahawa Wendani. My business involves selling food stuff and household items at wholesale price. I have employed 2 people who are involved in the running of business but every afternoon I spend time at my busy business because I usually work in morning hour shift at my place of work.Also over the weekend I spend at my business.

I have been saving with the plans of stocking all the basic household items and also to purchase in big bulk so that I can enjoy trade discount.

My Business

My business is based in Kahawa Wendani and I started in 2010 as a small shop only retailing but through dedication from my employees and good customer care skills my business has grown to wholesale whereby I small shops in the community purchase some of their items from my shop. Currently I have limited varieties but I intend to stock all the basic household items so that most of the shops within the local community and neighbouring community can purchase their products then resale. I also intend to hire a third employee to assist in delivery of the purchase items as this will reduce cost on my clients but also increase client base because customers like being offered friendly services.

Loan Proposal

Am grateful to the zidisha lenders for contributing towards my loan thus I managed to use effectively as stated thus meeting my customers needs and also increase my monthly sales and customer base and now I intend to purchase more items in big quantity so as to enjoy trade discount. I have savings from my salary and business but not enough thus I request for another loan from Zidisha thus I will purchase cooking oil at Kshs 11500, maize flour at Kshs 14800, Sugar at Kshs 15000, rice at Kshs 12000, salt at Kshs 5000, match box at Kshs 5000. The new stock will meet my customers demand and I will not exert more pressure on the business but will use my salary as currently the children are on holiday thus am not paying school fees for this month. Kindly consider contributing towards my business and I will keep you updated on the progress and also pay the loan installment in time. Thanks

    Veronica, Even if you cannot pay, we would appreciate an update. Also, Zidisha: there is something wrong with your system. Her profile still reports 100% repayment rate...

    Hi lenders, my business was broken into and all my stock was stolen, this was a shock to me which caused me to get ill and be admitted at hospital for a while but am recovering and have also not been able to go work so kindly lenders be patient with me as the issue is under investigation but with my savings I will revive the business but will concetrate alot on increasing the stock to meet customers demand thus I have proposed small amount of loan. Sorry but will ensure the loan is repaid on time.

    Hi Zidisha lenders,

    Thanks to all who contributed towards my loan because I have received the money and I have ordered the delivery from the distributor. The new stock will increase the rate of turn over of my business which means more profit.

    Hi Zidisha lenders,

    My profit has increased because I have varieties of basic households which my clients need to restock their business but the stock is limited so I intend to increase the quantity of the basic households so that I can reduce expenses of transport to my place and also get trade discounts. Thanks for the support

    Hi Zidisha team !

    The local retailers are now concentrating on serving their customers rather than worrying on when and where to get the supply of the basic household commodities. Thanks to zidisha lenders for making this possible and I intend to expand the stock as the Easter festival and April holiday is almost being celebrated whereby the demand is high. I will be banking on Zidisha lenders to support me with loan so that my business can meet demands of customers.

    Hi Zidisha team !

    My sales have increased by approximately 20% and this is because of the introduction of basic household products and the retailers only make calls for delivery. Thanks Zidisha for the financial support and may God bless all who invested in my business by extending loan services.

    Suddenly the sales have increased and this is because of stocking basic household commodities and also offering transport services using a bicycle. Thanks for extending loan services to me.

    The distributor has just delivered the ordered basic household commodities to my wholesale shop and I anticipate making more sales this week as the retailers will be in position to purchase most of the basic household commodities at my store. Thanks all for this golden opportunity.

    I have received the money and am grateful for all who have contributed towards my loan. I have requested the distributor to supply some basic commodities to my wholesale shop by Monday so that the local retailers can access the products. Thanks and I will keep my promise.
