About Me

I am a qualified school teacher who has worked both in the public and private sector teaching pre-grade and primary school children. Due to my passion to teach underprivileged children, I started a community school where even the most vulnerable children could be given a chance to learn while still generating revenue and profits from those that can afford.

My Business

The business is the school which includes fee paying and non-school paying orphaned and vulnerable children who get sponsorship from well-wishers. The school also provides basic Literacy and Numeracy classes for the parents of the children in the community to help them run their small businesses which help raise funds for paying school fees and other school requirements.

Loan Proposal

I intend to repair the bunker beds in the preschool class and buy mattresses and covers for the beds in order to allow more little ones to sleep and rest after lunch.

    Thank you lenders for your continued support. I received the loan amounting to K4,014 which I will use to buy pre-school class tables and chairs, bunker beds and beddings.

    Dear Benvenuto, I wish to thank you sincerely for your continued support and that of other lenders in funding my project. The funds will go towards purchasing some bunker beds, beddings, tables and chairs for pre-grade children in our community school. Thank you once again.

    I bought chairs and tables for the preschool class and vanished the remaining desks for the primary school classes. Now more little ones will have a chair and table to sit on when schools re-open.

    The adjustment was necessary in order to mitigate the slow payment of funds due to closing of the school premises to allow the Electoral Commission to carry out their voter registration verification exercise by the public.

    Dear John, MarktheMormon and Katrina, thank you very much for your support! This loan will go a long way in helping me refurbish all the office furniture the community school needs to offer a better teaching and learning experience. Thank you so much.

    Dear lenders, I used the previous loan to refurbish the last batch of desks and chairs for the additional number of pupils joining the community school. This has made it possible for all the pupils to have a desk and chair where they can sit comfortably and enjoy their learning environment and experience. Thank you for your support once again.

    I wish to confirm that I have received the loan and that the work on refurbishing the remainder of the school desks and chairs begins tomorrow. Thank you very much once again to all my lenders for this loan.

    Joyce, you are doing great! I am a teacher too and I am so proud of you! Let's pray for each other's success.

    Luke 16
    10“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?

    The high cases of the 2nd wave of the COVID-19 pandemic have prevented many parents from sending their children to school for fear of being infected. Therefore very few pupils have reported for classes. However, the situation might improve as we approach the end of the rain season.
