About Me

I graduated with a diploma in Electronics in the year 2009. I worked with the Ministry of Youth Affairs between the year 2011 to 2014 as a Technical Instructor in the field of Electrical and Electronics. I joined the Kenya Methodist University in the year 2013 as a BSC in Computer Information System student. I graduated last year on July 2015. I currently work as software developer. I like programming, reading and watching documentary videos.

My Business

Am currently working as a developer at White Label Tracking company in Nairobi. It is a company that deal with tracking softwares and am in the department of developing the softwares. Besides the job, me and my wife we started an online business selling ladies and children turbans and headgears last month. We sell on Jumia online store and the business is doing well.

Loan Proposal

Currently I have an ongoing building project. I require 54 iron sheets worthy $698.44. Together with what I have, I will use the loan of $621.50 to help me purchase iron sheets. With the loan supplement I will be able to complete the building much earlier by 2 months. I estimate to complete it early August so that my family will be able to live in a better place.

    Our business is in its low season. We are expecting it to pick in December. That’s why am not able to repay in large amounts.

    The business has not yet generated enough profit to break even.

    The business hasn't picked yet. Waiting for more sales to break-even.

    Am financially down. Is there any way to reduce the installments further to KES 500?

    Log in to reply • Share

    Am unable to raise the full amount due challenges in business.

    Log in to reply • Share
  • Lawrence    Jan 18, 2022
