About Me

I am a volunteer Church minister in Kenya with GCFC ( Grace Community Fellowship Church)and a part-time bible school teacher at KMTI (www.kmti.org). I am a father of 6, Two girls who both have just started making an income one running her own Business and the other a legal office at a local company. 2 boys in High school and 2 boys in primary school. I hold a Degree in Bible and Theology. In 1997 I was going through a rough time in my life this cause me to stop teaching at the Bible school and also doing any church ministry. at this point, I trained myself in computer maintenance through some books and CDs a friend from the USA gave me. This set the path for me to start a computer repair shop that eventually became a full-fledged IT Store. However, in 2013 I found my self in bad debts because of my lack of proper planning and this cost me my business. Part of the problem was no one was willing to refinance me to start over. Since then I to date my clients bring their work to my house where I do the work at night and deliver the finished product the next day.

My Business

I currently undertake, repair and maintenance of smartphones i.e replacing broken screens, or parts or fixing software issues, I also fix and maintain laptops. and I also install CCTV . among those clients I previously had when I run an IT shop. Currently, everyone has a smartphone or even a laptop and this break daily and many can't afford new ones they prefer to repair. The challenge is financing that can allow me to reopen my business especially now having learnt from my past mistakes. I have since Joining Zidisha added the sale of refurbished ex -UK/USA Iphones. which has proved really profitable.

My profit is mainly used for the family to take care of my bills and pay school fees for my kids 2 in high school and 2 in primary school. sometimes I also buy common parts clients need.

Loan Proposal

With this Loan, I would like to
1. Buy one refurbished iPhone 7plus 128gb @ $230
2. Buy a factory network unlock for iPhone 5s and 6 @ $30
I bought two phones online and asked but when they go to me they were network locked so this cash will help me unlock them and at the same time fulfil an order for one client who needs an iPhone 7plus. eventually, I want to be able to stock all apple products am hoping to build my capital and to this level. thanks in advance for all those who will fund my loan. this Loan will hopefully add another 5,000/- to my profit immediately but also increase my stock of iPhones to 4 that will also add to my capital and profit.
