About Me

My name is Jane Kiarie, married to Francis Muteru. I am a mother of one boy aged 6 years.

I was born in central region of Kenya and schooled there up to college after clearing my secondary school education. I did a course in Front Office.

I was employed after college and worked for four years in Mombasa and then I left on my own volition since i wanted to start my own business.

I started a mobile phone business where I was selling phones and related accessories. I later changed the business and I started my current business two years ago.

I am a hardworking and honest person and these qualities have contributed greatly to the growth of my business.

My Business

My business deals with sale refrigeration materials. I also air conditioners. Mombasa is a coastal town with hot and humid climate which makes it an ideal place to put such a business.

The demand for my products and services is high especially during the hot season. The business is profitable and I make a net profit of about $600 per month.

My business employs one full-time worker and 2 casuals. Given this credit that I am requesting from Zidisha, I will be able to stock more materials in my store hence raise the sales and my profit.

Thank you.

Loan Proposal

I am glad that my refrigeration business is doing well and my clientele has grown tremendously for the last few months. There is a growing demand of the spare parts and I need more capital to cope up the increasing demand.

If given this money, I will use all of it to buy compressors since they are always in demand and I will make some reasonable profit from the resulting sales.

    I got my first loan mid last year and I used the money to stock spare parts for my shop's inventory. The multiplier effect has been very encouraging and it has contributed a lot to my business growth.

    The attached photo shows some to the items I managed to buy with the money.

    I suffered from fever, and I was hospitalised for one week. This has affected my business and I request that you allow me to reduce my weekly payments to KES 250 from the current KES 500 for two weeks so that I recover fully.
    I am sure I will be able to resume my KES 500 instalment or even higher after I fully recover. Thank you so much for your continued support.

    My business is currently experiencing very low sales. Mombasa town economy relies on tourism which has been affected greatly by sporadic attacks by terrorists and subsequent travel advisories by the some countries where the tourists come from. I am hoping that business will resume to normal soon and then I revert back to my initial installments.

    Dear lenders, I invited Jane Kiarie to Zidisha. She had gone upcountry to attend to some emergency but she is now back. I spoke to her today and she promised to clear her arrears this week.

    Thank you for your patience.
