About Me

My name is Stephen Muthui, fifth born in a family of six. 3 years ago, i was a student taking Bachelors of Science in computing and information system (BCIS) at multimedia university but dropped due to financial constrains. Currently i run a small printing, selling of printing accessories and photography business in Nakuru town-Kenya. I started the business as its in my area of training in information and communication Technology (ICT) and by observing the demand of printing business and more and more people join institutions of higher learning in my area. My decision was also informed by the expansion of the town. More businesses are being setup and most of them need clerical works thus an opportunity to sell my goods.

My Business

My business name is Dweb Technology, situated in Nakuru town- Kenya. its a small printing, Computer repair and installation, selling of printing accessories and photography business. the printing ranges from small personal printing to mass printing which i out source as per the clients order. The only limiting factor is capital for most of the printing work require a large capital in which most banks are unwilling to lend or their interest rates are more than the business can pay. to supplement the printing, i sell printing materials and part time photography.

Loan Proposal

Ill use the loan to add stock to my business. First ill buy printing papers and then parkaging materials for long distance orders. The remaining amout ill use to buy ink for my inkjet printer and tonners.

    I really thank Zidisha for the loans you extended to me. it really boosted my business. However i will not be able to continue taking any other loan due to new leading rules. (" I understand and agree that a one-time Zidisha Members Loan fund contribution of 3,000 KES will be deducted from the disbursement of this loan." ) While getting 8500KES Loan + 3000 contribution + interest rate , the repayment rate becomes extremely high, higher than even the local commercial banks . Thank you again and continue the good work.

      Dear Mr. Muthui, I'm sorry to hear that, and appreciate your taking the time to let us know.

      I'd like to clarify that the 3000 KSH contribution to the Zidisha Members Loan fund is not part of the cost of the loan. Rather, it is only paid once in your lifetime, and entitles you to raise an unlimited number of loans through Zidisha.

      Since Zidisha loans no longer carry interest, contributions to the Zidisha Members Loan Fund are used to help protect the value of lending funds against loan losses. You may read more about why we made this change here: forum.zidisha.org/threads/z...
