About Me

My name is Charity Wanjiku. I am the 7th born in a family of 8 kids. I was born and raised in Kirinya County in a Christian home. I work for the government and at the same time I do business on the side. I own a tuk tuk (transport) vehicle that ferries people in Kiambu town. My total income in a month is 50,000 KSh and I am looking into purchasing a 2nd tuk tuk before the middle of this year. I have already saved up some money towards the purchase of another tuk tuk. I am a good Christian woman and looking forward to having a good working relationship with Zidisha. My plans for the future are to secure my family financially and give them a better life.

My Business

In addition to my tuk tuk (transport) vehicle business, I have ventured into home rentals with my sister. We are currently on www.airbnb.com and www.homestay.com. Most of our clients have requested a washing machine for clothes and I am kindly requesting a loan to help purchase it. We used all the saving to furnish the house. The tuk tuk business will help to repay the loan. Thanks.

Loan Proposal

hallo lenders,once again we meet as i ask for funding for my loan,i totally appreciate the journey so far and the progress.am kindly requesting funding for my loan so that i can purchase a dishwasher for my apartment i have been getting so many requests for people who want a dishwasher installed in the apartment and i have realized its better if we just dealt with the issue and hence we will increase the traffic towards the apartment.
the kenyan market is looking promising in the categories of homesharing and hosting.i look to being part of the big business picture
