About Me

I was born in a family of five children compromising of four boys and one girl.I am a fourth born.I went to my primary education but when itinto secondary education my father passed away .since he was the bread winner I was forced to drop from school due to lack of school fees.
This became a challenge to me since no one of my family could raise my school fees.i was forced to to look for casual labour here and there.The little I got I paid my school fees until I completed my secondary education.
since I couldn't raise university fees I opted to continue with casual labour savings a little .
With time I had saved enough to purchase a motorbike taxi to operate in the village where modern form of the transport is not available.
my little boy wish to be a journalist particularly a news reporter .reading novels and making new friends makes my past time

My Business

I have now ventured into transport business where by am operating an online taxi service as a taxidriver.
But am short of finance to smoothly run this business efficiently,thats why am coming to zidisha to beg for a loan .With the loan I will inject into this business to acquire all the documents needed by authority by doing this I will be able to carry out the business without fear of arrest or intimidation by authority...To secure my business I intend to use the remainder to install a security camera and an alarm device in the vehicle.Not forgetting to insure the vehicle against accident and theft.

Loan Proposal

with the current rainy weather, it a blessing to some and very challenging to others.By this i mean the farmers are hapa cause crops are doing well and there expect bumper harvest at the end of the season.
But to the taxi operators like me its a bit challenging cause of the rains as all of you know most countryside dont have tarmacked roads.So when it rains the road before very slippery and unbearable especially when your bike dont have a good condition tires. You are prone to accident be cause of loss of control.
With this money i plan to buy new tires and service the bike for smooth operations and accident free business means making profit.
