About Me

Hi, I am Sammy Karugu, been in the online writing business for the past 9 years. I deal in web content writing which is a great job with regard to the job situation in my country. I graduated from Chuka University with a degree in B.A. Economics and Sociology.

Since I graduated, I have been involved in a couple of things with friends and different organizations. It is through these involvements that I have been able to earn skills in Air Conditioners' installations as well as structured cabling installations and laying of other IT related infrastructure.

My Business

Having learnt about the Air Conditioners installation, structured cabling & fiber installations, and having established a couple of networks, I am confident I will get business and will be the new norm for me. I will have a new way of complementing my online writing gig and get some more money to venture into new business or grow this new business.

Why my products move?

Since many business in the country are embracing technology, a local area network is mandatory which means they will need my structured cabling services or fiber installation. As we all know, internet is all you need to get the technology you need. With this in mind and having met and interacted with the right people and contractors, I will get a couple of sub-contracting businesses from time to time.

What I currently need is typically a tool box. I need 2 hand drills, a few spanners and drill bits. these will cost me about 60,000 Kenyan Shillings but with a loan from you guys and savings I believe I will be good to go.

With a job worth about 20,000 Kenyan Shillings, my expenses will be about 60% and the rest will be profit which I will use to repay my loan here and in the long run I will be able to re-invest in the business and buy more tools and built capacity to the level I will be able to cater to a whole contract worth hundreds of thousands if not millions.

Loan Proposal

With this loan, I will buy more flashdrives, laptop skins and all stickers for my business. This will satisfy the high demand am facing for these products from my friends and college mates. The profit margins are pretty good and the $130 I get as loan will be of great significance having in mind that one laptop skins goes for $6 and flashdrives go for $6 to $12.

Consider me for this and be sure that I will not disappoint, I promise to come up with a success story on this first loan and somethings greater for subsequent loans I get from this platform.

    I made a bulk payment form my bank account in December. I need to get a statement so I can share with support to have things sorted. When this is sorted I will have an overpayment. Thanks

    Hello Backers,

    I would like to thank you for the funding. I am doing my best to make the repayment. I landed into a problem financially as I needed to renew my business permits but I am on track again.

    Hello Everyone,

    It is a great opportunity to be on the platform and raise money for my pharmacy business. I was able to add on inventory which did well for the shop. We are now a trusted dispensing chemist in the area as we have a good inventory.

    In the next project, I will be raising money for more inventory as well as employ an attendant who will help when I am not around. This will help in having the place operating even when I am unavailable

    Hello everyone,

    The funds I raised last time were used to get new inventory for the chemist. I also got a stool and a seat. The new funding will be used for renovations and adding two to three shelves in the shop.

    Hey all; happy to let you know that I'm back in business and the first thing I was able to do was settle my loan and hope to get more funding. All is well now and I am ready to borrow again and continue growing through this wonderful platform. Thank you

    Hey
    What might be the problem? I accepted my loan funding more than a week ago and have not received the money yet. I contacted the Zidisha support, asked for my mobile number but no response yet (more than 24 hours ago).

    Anyone here who can assist?
