About Me

I was born in Nakuru town, raised and went t school there. i was raised by good parents who taught me how to live a honest life since i was a child. I managed to reach a diploma level in my education.
when my dad passed on i was in college and realized i had to put more effort in all i do to make a better me. so in life i am never afraid to give my all to make things work for me.
I worked with 3 electrical companies for a period of 9years and i realized i could start my own small electrical firm.
My eldest daughter wants to be a doctor, my son wants to be an enginner and my youngest daughter i see her following my footsteps.
i love travelling alot and if am not working or traveling then its watching movies

My Business

i service and maintain all electrical equipments. I mostly deal with contracts for electrical installation.
people build houses every day and sometimes electrical equipments get short circuited every now and then.
One , because its my line of specialization, secondly its not very hectic and most of all i enjoy doing it especially when i get a good client.
In a month if there is no active project going on i can accumulate ksh 1,500 per week which is roughly ksh 6,000 per month. When there is an active project i can make ksh 30,000 per month after deducting labour and material.
I use it for school for children, home improvements, reinvestment in growing the business and the family daily bread.

Loan Proposal

I would like to buy office furniture so as to go more proffessional. The cost for the furnitures is about 45000 ksh.

This will enable me and my collegues to have a central place and it will be easier to look for work in the office than at home.

Talking to clients is easir so looking for more work and being more organized will definately increase my profit

    Am so sorry for taking too long before repaying my loan but the situation has been so tight that I didn't know what to do even I was living on hand to mouth. I thank this community for being so patient and by God's grace I can start all over again. I will try to the best of my ability to pay my loan and on time so that I can create a good relationship with you people again. Thanks for understanding and being patient all this time. May God richly bless you

    Hallo my Zidisha lenders,

    Thanks so much for all the support that you have been giving me. I got some repair and supply contracts of both electrical and mechanical goods that's why I have not been communicating frequently.

    Its because of your support and by God's grace that is why I can have reached this far. Thanks again for all your assistance and be blest abundantly.
