About Me
Hallo,i'm Simon kuria from Kenya iam 27 yrs,iam not married,I stay in Thika town starehe estate.I'm raised from a very humble family where i'v 5 siblings and iam the last born in our family.I started casual labour works at rural home after my secondary school where by i was paid ten dollars per month and with my little savings I managed to safe some money and payed a course at my friends workshop of mobile phone repair and after hardwork he employed me.After working for three years I managed to open my own shop in Thika town where by I started phone repairs,and accessories which I have planned to expand if I can get money from any source.
My Business
in my business,i offer mobile phone services and repair,I choose this service to people because in my town most people are less fortunate and when their phone developed a problem not all manage to buy new ones so most prefer to repair the one they have according to their finance capability.
I also sell mobile phone accessories where i buy my stock at wholesale price in capital city Direct from wholesalers at cheap price which enables me to sell them at a reasonable price which makes my customers love my work because of my good price I offer.
The reason why I choosed this kind of job is the town is highly populated and almost everyone owns a mobile phone and according to my experience and skills.
After my monthly transaction balance,i take some of my profit to buy foodstuffs for my parents,and sometimes I visit orphan children's home which are very many in this town.
I will appreciate zidisha loan since it will improve my business in terms of stock and hence help me meet the rising demand of my customers.
Loan Proposal
Dear lenders,thank you for continue support,care and generosity.I am greatful and thankful.
My business has grown and its doing very well due to increased stock which you have enhanced me through your kindness,My profit has grown up to 48% which is very good and acceptable regarding to my country economy.My shop has stock for low and medium income earners where by I have managed to get many customers and added more stock including few smart phones because what I have learned with the few smart phones I have added at my business I have seen if I can manage to add few most moving and marketable smart phones I can increase my profit since most people are now moving with technology.
Below is my proposal for few moving smart phones which I intend to buy if u can lend me again and I'm requesting you to fund me and help me to achieve my dreams.

1pc Lumia mobile 532 @70$
1pc huawei mobile y360@ 45$

The remaining 23$,will cater for transport and delivery.
With the above stock at my business,my profit will rise up to 56%,and I will manage to employ one information and technology employee who will be attending to customers who are purchasing smart phones.
Dear lenders and zidisha team,please fund my proposed project and I promise to be faithful and truthful in repaying money back.Thankyou and God bless you.
