About Me

I am Mararo Daniel, a Kenyan citizen. I am 28 years old. I was born in a family of four, and I am the third born. My parents were farmers. I am married with one kid. I come from a village where people have not been civilized. People are still living in traditions.

It is through my parents that I am now who I am. They encouraged us to plant trees when we were young. From that, I was able to get capital with which I started the business.

I first thought of what I could do to help sustain myself and my family. It wasn't until a friend gave me an idea of starting a business of selling timbers that I went ahead and searched for the market. I asked my friend, who had a power saw, to help me make timber and I would pay him after selling them. When they were ready, the buyer came and collected them by himself.

With the little money he gave me, I went to Kisii town and got a small plot for two years and built a temporary store. I then went again and cut 6 trees and made timbers. I transported them to my timber yard. I now can buy trees and make timbers for myself.

My dream is one day to buy my own plot, build a big timber yard, and have my own pickup.

My Business

I own a small timber yard. I buy trees from farmers and hire someone with a power saw to make me timbers. I can sometimes buy ready timbers and transport them to my timber yard.

It is through a friend that I decided to start that kind of business. It wasn't until I started that I realized that timbers have high demand. Timbers have many uses. One, they can make furniture. They can also be used in building and have so many other uses.

From that small business, I can sell up to $600 in a month. From that, I make a profit of $150 a month. I use my profit to pay rent ($40). The rest I use to feed my family.

Loan Proposal

I here by opt to open aDstv show room to show international football games. I wish to close my timber Yard and open a Dstv show room. This is because, I have found it hard to stock timbers as I discovered that they are on high demand right from the sight where they are split. My yard has remained unutilized for awhile. Now I wish to utilize it by opening a Dstv show room.
I hereby therefore apply for a loan to help me buy a Dstv dish,decoder plus plastic chairs. I have already bought hisence TV 49". I now want to purchase about 50plastic chairs each coasting $5.
By showing one game I shall charge 0.3$ per person. I am hoping to have more than 50 fans for the start. So, per game I expect about 1.5$. In a day, their may be like 4 games. Therefore in a day I can make about $6.
For the start, I shall be the one running that business until I am sure of it that is when I can employ one youth operate it. To the community, I would have helped the youths who travel long distance in the name of going to watch international games.
I kindly seek for your financial support to enable me accomplish my plans and utilize my yard that is idle. Look forward to hear from you.

    Daniel has used Zidisha long enough to know how important repayment is, yet he borrowed $534.00 over a year ago and has not made a single repayment towards this amount. I would not trust him with another loan.

    This person doesn’t repay his loan and doesn’t communicate at all.

    Mararo is exactly the type of borrower Zidisha was made for. He is looking for opportunities and adapting his business plans as needed to seek success. I reccommend lending to him.
