About Me
Am John Njuguna thuku my friends call me "dombolo" this name is a nickname given to me while dancing on a road show for popular lingala music by Koffie olomide called DOMBOLO YA SOLO,
I was born in limuru central province and moved to narok in the year 2008 for university education, however i dint manage to finish my education due to financial mishaps.
Life in Narok town was not that easy i lacked food and things went out of hand i had to drop out of school and my parents lacked money, so i thot of going back home but found it hard because i knew there was nothing important i was going to do rather than add problems to my family,
A friend introduced me to car washing and i started doing car wash services in Narok river popularly known as OCEAN to raise cash to complete my education and food, This is where i learned to drive when given a car to wash.
A year after i managed to do a driving course and got a driving license,having the license made me search for driving jobs and after some months in the year 2012 i got employed to work as a driver for wananchi Sacco.
Am now married with one kid living living in narok town rift valley province of Kenya,and my life is slowly changing although i dint make it to go back to school i thank God for always giving me strength to make it to where i am now.
I like cars swimming fishing and adventure,i would like my son to do education course in future and also teach him how to drive as soon as he gets to 15yrs.
My Business
Am a taxi driver for wananchi Sacco in narok town,my work is to transport passengers to any destination as directed by my boss.
I get paid 22000 Kenya shillings this is 200 us d per month.
I dint chose this business i did it because i lacked otherwise but with time i came to love driving so much and am even saving so that one day i will buy my own taxi.
I use this money to sustain my family send some to my parents,save for my sons school fee so that when he start going to school i would be ready and save some in Mwalimu Sacco.
Loan Proposal
I have always wanted to see my wife as a self employed and when i joined Zidisha i did take my first loan and used it to set a small shade for her where she sales food stuffs and cereals like beans,cabbages,kale's,carrots and maize in retail price.
I notice the demand is growing and now she even got lots of customers whom she feeds everyday.
I want to make her more potential and explore her ability to reach more customers and provide clean service for her customers.
To do this i would need to at least move to a clean and safe shop were she wont be having problems moving her food stuffs after closing the job at 9pm.
House rent is $40 a deposit of the same amount is expected to be made which is $40 all this will be $80.
Food stuffs wholesale price will cost $100 to have a good stock which will keep her going before i raise money to boost it further.
Please lenders help me change her life my kids life and my family will improve to middle class living and better health.
Thank you zidisha.
