About Me

Am 29 yrs, a Kenyan, a clinician by profession working at Nyahera sub county hospital. i have a small clinic that i have set up and its running well. currently planning to start a pharmacy.
i am the last born in a family of three boys who have made it in life and this made my parents have greater expectations of me. studied in a small village primary school and made it to high school. back in school used to do small part time business of selling stationery goods to my colleagues. By God``s grace i did well in my exams and qualified for medical school.
i grew fond of medicine and so decided to take any job opportunity so as to save some cash for future opening of my own clinic and after medical school graduation i took a loan from my bank and i did just that although i started with one room now i have expanded to have laboratory attached to my clinic.
i got employed in a sub county hospital and currently working on starting my own pharmacy, although need more money to complete this, i believe in due time i will be running my pharmacy hand in hand with my clinic, thanks to you Zidisha am making progress.

My Business

my income source is via my employment at Nyahera sub county hospital inclusive of small bank loans to boost my small businesses. i started my business through hardship of doing any job so as to come up with money. i partnered with a friend and opened a fruit pa-lour but failed. i never lost hope, hence went for a bank loan and decided to do what am good at and that is managing the sick patients.
I started with a small room where i made small profits and managed to pay back my loan bit by bit until its completion. i hence took another loan and expanded my clinic to two rooms, that is a consultation room and an E.R. Today am proud of my effort and hardship that i have gone through to be where i am but above all am proud of the appreciation i get daily from my patients because of the good service i offer to them.
in the small community where i run my clinic, i attend mostly to children who get ill mostly as compared to grown ups. i chose to open a clinic because of the love i have for medicine and treating the ill. in a day i can make up to approximately thirty five thousand with costs of ten to fifteen thousand. my profits i use in expanding my business and pay for my child`s school fees. in a nutshell i provide services to the poor of managing their ill conditions anytime am available. currently working as clinical officer as at Nyahera sub county hospital and this helps me in investing in other joint businesses.

Loan Proposal

I will use the 3800KES which is equivalent to 38USD to register some units in the University where am currently undertaking an upgrading program in clinical medicine. The remaining 61KES or 0.6USD will be deducted by my service provider.
