About Me

I was born in a family of six where by I am the first Born. My parents were farmers, they brought us up with difficulties. They were unable to support us get the education we wanted. They were able to support me up to class eight after which I decided to look for some thing that could enable me earn a living. It was until met with a friend who had a motor bike. He employed me. Every evening I was to give him ksh400.

My Business

I started by working for my friend as boda boda man.I worked for him for 4years. While working for him I learnt to save until I bought a second hand motor bike. I now own my motor bike. I operate at kakamega town. I lend my services to people of kakamega. I like my job as it has made me have many friends who are my customers. Many customers appreciate my services as I serve them well. I choose this business as vehicles can't access the interior places.

Loan Proposal

I hereby re_apply for the loan. First I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the zidisha fratanity for their support to me
Am looking forward to purchase a new motorcycle. This is by adding the amount I received from our Sacco marry go round. So far I have ksh 15000,which I look forward to top with the loan that am expecting. Am looking forward to purchase a motorcycle that cost about $800.
By purchasing this motorcycle,It shall be bringing me $4 per day. It shall also create employment oppotu to one of the youth around my village as I look forward to employ an orphan who has no support from their relatives. I have already taken a photo of that young man I want to employ. In my profile pictures, a man with a blue long trouser and a black shirt is a partial orphan, he doesn't have a father. He has no source of income. By so doing, I would have helped him become busy rather than being idle. And this one is through your support.

    I have contacted my mentee and he claims to have no arrears. When I try to look at his payment schedule, it shows he has no arrears. But coming to his dashboard, it has arrears. It is just a problem with the system.

The loan has made adifferance in my life since at my Sacco we have merry go round at least every week each member contribute ksh1000 hence the money amounts to ksh40000 since i got the money i used ksh5000 to sponsor school of orphans at Kitale town milimani.I used ksh3000 to take my family for a tour at Kitale museum. They were very happy to see amazing things of the nature.

    I really enjoy this job of mine of motobike business as it has made me make friendship with so many people.
    I only get challenges during rainy season as it is so cold but in the other side, it's the time I make high profit as the transport cost doubles and most customers who normally walk to their residents opt to use motorcycle to their places.

    Am humbled to extend my sincere gratitude to the zidisha fratanity for their support.
    My last loan enabled me pay registration fees to the Sacco and paid some contribution to the Sacco. Merry go round.
    This has helped me greatly as it has thought me to save. It is through the contribution that I make to the Sacco that has enabled me settle my zidisha loan.
    This week was my turn to receive from the members of the Sacco. We are forty members where by we contribute ksh1000 per week. This totals to ksh 40000, this is then given to one member and is advised to invest in something that generates income.
    Now after having paid ksh25000 to my zidisha loan, I remain with ksh 15000.
    I therefore apply for another loan of which I shall top with the cash am remaining with to purchase another motorbike which I look forward to employ one youth in my village.
    Thanks and wish to hear from you soon.
