About Me

I graduated in the year 2009 with a diploma in Analytical Chemistry but due to unemployment I decided to start a movie shop with money that I saved in college. three years down the line i bought a taxi van/matatu.
I have 3 kids (a boy and two girls) ,the boy would like to be a mechanical engineer like his grand father while my elder daughter would like to be a doctor, my third born is 3 years old. This can only be achieved through proper schooling.

My Business

I do transport business which has been my childhood dream. I love the business because people must be transported everyday from one point to another. I have one taxi van/matatu that helps me to cater for my family, 2 of whom are in school. the day to day running of a taxi van business is sometime costly because it depends on what the van has broken or what need repair so it's hard to have a monthly projection. i would like to buy another van through savings and assistance from lending institutions such as zidisha so that I can expand my business to greater heights.

Loan Proposal

Let me start by saying courtesy of you guys I bought one tire with my first loan and that really helped in making my business efficient. I would like to buy two rear rims at 140 dollars so that my taxi van can appeal to the young generation who tend to be choosy when boarding taxi vans.
