About Me

My names are LM. I am a female aged fourty three years. I am from Nakuru county. I completed my primary education in the year 1983 and was able to join High School in 1984
After completing my four years of high school l passed well and was able to join college. i did a certificate course and upon completion, I joined the dairy industry where I worked for several years. I quit employment after saving some money to start business and this is what I have been doing to date.

My Business

I am a business woman and have been doing business for the last nineteen years. I started business with some money from my saving during my employment period. I did this business for a period of five years and in the year 1999. Since the business had grown I felt the need to move to an open and better business premise which I did and I went to a bigger room in Koinange Street . It was when I was there that I decided to change my business after assessing what the people in that area needed. I switched to selling shoes and slowly by slowly the business picked up. I sold shoes for a period of four years. I got a better business premise in Naivasha central business area and immediately grabbed the opportunity and after some time due to the demand I mixed with other products like leather, and leather adhesives. The business grew day by day after the addition of the new customer. The business started going down after the sale of second hand shoes increased which were cheaper than the new shoes and hence the customers opted for them. When I was purchasing my products I came across plastic goods and due to the drop in business I decided to change the business which I am doing up to date. The business has picked and has a wider range of products than the other business I have done. Finally am feeling challenged due to this demand because I have never been able to meet it for the last three years I’ve been in this business and that’s why am requesting for financial assistance from your institution. Thank you in advance

Loan Proposal

I have realized that delivering goods for a customer is very important and attracting. A customer will not buy from my shop simply because he/she will be forced to walk around and look for some means of transporting the goods to a certain destination after the purchase. One prefers to buy where there's ready transport for time saving and convenience. Am planning to charge very a low fee that no one can resist. Those around the town can order by phone and the delivery will be done. This way I know I'll boost my business. Thank you.

    The previous loan has been of so much help to my shop because it helped me stock my new shop. My customers have been able to locate the shop slowly and business Is back to normal. I want to thank all those who stood by me by lending me their money when I needed it most.God bless you all. I must admit that at first I was so much afraid that I wouldn't make to repay my loan within a shorter period than the previous ones but I thank God coz He's enabled me .

    Hi Lucy,

    You have got a wonderful story right there. So experienced and modest in your description. Growing from strength to strength over the years.

    That is what success is made of. Clear direction & sound research.

    I wish you quick funding & continued success in your well calculated moves.

    VM Shehi.

    It has been such a wonderful journey with Zidisha team, from the two loans I have received from you. I want to thank my lenders so much for their love and concern for us the small scale business people, because one day through your help we shall be "large scale" business people. Your money has boosted my business so much and has taken me to another level
    God bless you nightly. Without this money I would be many steps behind. Thank you.
