About Me

My name is Alice Kamweru. I am married and have two children. I am a hotelier by profession and I have worked with a couple of companies in the respective field. However, I decided to change my specialization after I went for my first maternity leave and started as a self-employed working from the localities of my home.

I have been venturing in online business for a while now and I can tell that it is not bad. I compose online articles for various websites. I do however intend to create another side hustle to help me channel in more gains.

My hobbies are writing and reading novels, mingling with people and doing general business. I also like travelling especially when I am free.

My Business

I am an online freelancer currently specializing in website content writing.

The job has been a source of my finance for the last year. I manage to raise approximately $100 per week which I use for personal needs and general support for my family.

I do however intend to venture in a side business apart from freelancing. I intend to establish a small second-hand clothes stall for both men and women. I have already found a perfect place for the clothes business. In fact, I have already booked the stall using the little savings I have managed to gather.

If I am granted the loan, I will employ someone who will be selling the clothes on my behalf. The money should be enough to help me buy several bales of second hand clothes. I am certain that the clothes will be sold quickly considering the high level of people traffic at the stall location.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan of $50 to top up the amount i have at hand to procure a laptop. The laptop is of utmost essence to me since I will be in a position to do my job from the comfort of my home. The loan will surely elevate my online business since I will no longer waste a lot of time moving to the cybercafe. Such inconveniences have been my major drawbacks hence the need to rid them.

    I have been going a lot lately from my son,s health problems that led me to closing down my cloth shop.

    I have been having so many issues that are financially related and i do not want to mess up by not paying. right now am really straining to get back on my feet after loosing too much due to my child's ailment. last week i managed to pay some amount which am going to try as much as i can to settle the rest. I deeply apologise for all the inconveniences. Kindly consider my plea, thanks in advance.

    i have greatly benefited from the loan i acquired from zidisha.org and i am so greatful for the fund. i have been paying my instalments on time until my son got ill and things got a bit complicated. it was such a big responsibility to a point i had to do a fundraiser to clear the bill because i could not raise the cash. i have adjusted to that amount because that is what i can afford at the moment but when things get better i will readjust to a higher amount, please bear with me. regards, Alice Kamweru

    Hello lenders,

    I spoke to Alice today and she told me her child was ill that's why she has not been making payment.She promised she will try to resume with her payment once things got well.

    Thank you

    Hi Leonardia...I already bough an Uvorcorp academic writing account. It is doing pretty well though it was off-peak season. However, things are better now. Thanks
