About Me

Am nathan mutwiri from Em-bu community living in the central province kiambu county.
I was born and raised in Em-bu before my mother was secondly married to my dad in Kiambu Limuru town.
I went to Em-bu east primary school and Manguo high school respectively.
After high school I dint join college due to finance and two years later after maturity I began going for labor's job like being a hands-man for house constructions and cultivation of land for huge farmers.
my parents are always busy selling Mitumba refurbished cloths to raise and support my siblings so as a man I have to work and at least support my siblings in there education.
my hobbies and likes are into plumbing works which o find it easy as it entails having a plumbing welding machine and understanding coupling (joint) connections.
I love spending time with my siblings and traveling.

My Business

I haven't set up a stable business joint but am into lab-our works which I get paid after working in the evening.
I work under professional carpenters and masons whom are well known and recognized in my region.
Am paid 8 us dollars a day which is spend 1 us d on lunch 0.5 us dollars on transport in-case its a job far from my region and 0.5 us dollars on airtime communicating and finding the job.
The remaining amount I use to support my parents in paying part of my siblings school fee.
I chose this job because most youth of my community are not interested and think its a dirty job and also to make sure I can cater for my needs and avoid being idle after high school.

Loan Proposal

Thank you lenders this time granted the loan of 192 us dollars i will use it to support my sister in paying her school fee amount of 115 us dollars i will remain with 77 us dollars this i will use to buy a second bed and a mattress at 75 us dollars and 2 us dollars i will use for transportation of the bed to my home.
God bless you so much you always have been kind to me and my family.
Thank you.

    Hey son, this is James, one of the lenders. Just want to know how you all are doing now that the election is over. I hope you are all safe. My kids in Kenya have been keeping me informed of current developments. I know that lives and businesses are hurt and I pray that your business will pick up after things settle down to normal again. Write when you can, I care. Keep on keeping on. James

    I send my appreciation for the previous loan which I used in buying a plumbing plastic welding machine. This machine has opened doors to me finding many jobs. I also lease it to other plumbers when I am not using it and earn a fee from that. Thank you so much. May God continue to bless you and your families.

    Greetings Nathan, I am James. I read your story with much interest and decided to lend you the money to get the plumbing machine you need. I really commend you for the responsible man you seem to be, helping your parents and siblings, and starting your plumbing business. Learn all you can about the business, like the copling connections and other things. The more knowledge you have the more you can do to serve custoners needs, and the more income for you. Think of ways that you can improve your business, perhaps some other equipment. Have you thought about having a business card to help advertise your business, a card that you can give to customers so they will remember your business and can tell others too. As an example, on the card, you could call your business "Nathan's Plumbling Service" , with your name, cellphone number, and a list of services that you do. Having 50 or 100 cards printed may not cost too much. Ask around. Think about it. I am praying for you and your business to succeed. One more thing Nathan, having a partner in your business will be good, but not just any partner. I am talking about your number one partner, the Lord our God, make Him your number one partner. Well take care, do your best for the Lord and your customers, and keep on keeping on. Write sometime and let me know how your business is doing. Greet the family. Bye for now. James

      It's so very nice to hear that you have learnt this....I think you will find people will be more willing to support you, when you show you make an effort....This is why it is so important to maintain a good repayment rate.
      Good luck.
