About Me

When i was young i used to learn at Ebusyubi Primary School and then i later joined high school at Ebusakami Secondary school where i later joined Ebusyubi Secondary School due to lack of fees at Ebusakami Secondary School, where i used to board.

After high school education i used to help my mum sale vegetables where i used to save until i was able to open my own retail shop where i sale household goods.

In this area we live most people are poor and peasant farmers where they struggle to make ends meet and through all these problems they still make it in life.

I am married with one child and when she grows up her dream is to be a doctor and we both try to make her dream come true by working so hard in everything that we do. She is now at Nursery.
During my free time i like reading novels and other educating materials.

My Business

At my retail shop all the money i get normally comes from all the things i sale in this retail shop.

Also my husband has a computer shop where he does computer services, photocopy services, video shooting and editing services and computer repairs services where he gets money from it and he uses some to add stock at my retail shop and these has made my shop have more items than before.

We also together have started a tree seedling nursery where we sale our trees to people and institutions and these adds capital to our business.

Loan Proposal

The moment my loan is funded and i finally received, i will use all the funds to purchase the following aforementioned goods/items for sale at my retail shop business:-

1. 50Kgs Sony Sugar (8 sacks @ Kshs. 4,800/-) totaling to USD 378.141

2. 50Kgs of Rice (6 sacks @ Kshs. 3,400/-) totaling to USD 200.887

    I would like to reduce my weekly installments to Kshs. 1000/= due to low financial income that am encountering. I have just resumed my business after a long time and hopefully as time goes by i will have established a good customer base which will make me increase my payments in future.

    Since the demolitions of buildings to pave way for the highway, the reconstruction of our business premise is ongoing and it has been slow. My shop was one of the affected and currently not working. I promise to repay the loan back ones the business resumes. Sorry for inconveniences caused. I promise to make partial payments until the loan is fully repaid. Thanks in advance.

    I have been to her place of business and found out that she is among the people who have been affected by moving a few yards away from the road. They received a short notice to evacuate from the Highway Roads Authority. Her business is about to start as the shop has been newly build and she is about to move in. Currently she is at home. I have talked to her start making her loan payments as soon as possible.

    Thanks to all the lenders who funded my last loan which as a matter of fact used the funds to purchase more additional goods for my business. I sold them out all and got my profits which i used to repay back the loan and used some of the profits to purchase more goods. Thanks so much for your continued support. May God bless you all.

    What happened to all our Zidisha lenders? I have proposed my loan four times without being fully funded..... this has never happened to me since i joined this wonderful place and met wonderful people like you who believes in us. Whenever i used to propose a new loan it used to be funded in less than 13 days. There is no day where i proposed a loan and it expired before being funded. Am i the only one experiencing this? Okay, today i am making another loan proposal and it's my hope that all our lenders will turn up in great numbers and contribute to my loan proposal which will be used to purchase goods/items for my retail shop business hence increase my stock, profits and savings. Thanks.

    Thanks to Zidisha and all my lenders for believing in me and my business. I made my loan proposal which has been published and am asking all of you lenders to fund my loan because i am a very trustfull person, very responsible in terms of repaying loans and my business is capable of repaying the loans in time and without fail. I promise to repay this loan in full and in good time. Good luck.
