About Me

I was born in a family of five children compromising of four boys and one girl.I am a fourth born.I went to my primary education but when itinto secondary education my father passed away .since he was the bread winner I was forced to drop from school due to lack of school fees.
This became a challenge to me since no one of my family could raise my school fees.i was forced to to look for casual labour here and there.The little I got I paid my school fees until I completed my secondary education.
since I couldn't raise university fees I opted to continue with casual labour savings a little .
With time I had saved enough to purchase a motorbike taxi to operate in the village where modern form of the transport is not available.
my little boy wish to be a journalist particularly a news reporter .reading novels and making new friends makes my past time

My Business

I have now ventured into transport business where by am operating an online taxi service as a taxidriver.
But am short of finance to smoothly run this business efficiently,thats why am coming to zidisha to beg for a loan .With the loan I will inject into this business to acquire all the documents needed by authority by doing this I will be able to carry out the business without fear of arrest or intimidation by authority...To secure my business I intend to use the remainder to install a security camera and an alarm device in the vehicle.Not forgetting to insure the vehicle against accident and theft.

Loan Proposal

I do whereby wish to apply a loan for
1.purchase of protective helmet for both the rider and the passenger.This will help in case of an accident ,Sunrays,blowing wind and intense rain .Both the rider and passenger will be safe and comfortable while on transits.Customers tend to prefer safe rider and secured ride.
2.Purchase of reflective jackets for both the rider and passenger.The current one are old and torn and looks shabby.With the help of zidisha team I will manage yo buy new and attractive jackets for customers and rider..The jacket protect one from blowing wind and cold and also make it possible for other road users to see you on the road and avoid being hit by vehicles.
With the above I will be able to attract customers from other rider's cause of the extra measures I have .Remembering life is precious so no customers would ride on a dangerous bike without safety precautions.
