About Me

I'm Nick ,21 years old. Currently am a third year at University Of Eldoret taking a degree in Agricultural Engineering. I come from a very humble background.I went to local public primary school called Karinga primary school where i worked hard and attained good marks which took me to good provincial secondary school i.e Murang'a high school. Despite the many hardships i went through in high school especially lack of ample school fees which made me spend most of my school time at home, i was able to get a good grade i.e B+ which took me to university where i am. I have learnt good virtues in school like being honest with myself and to others. I was the school captain in my former high school which gave me courage and raised my self esteem where i developed hobbies like football playing and utilized my talent i.e dancing.
I really hustled after my high school since i didn't have my joining fees to campus keeping in mind that i really had the the urge to pursue my dream career. I used to sell second hand cloths ( mutumbas) at a local market called Muthurua. It was challenging but i struggled till i got enough school fees to join university.I also bought a photocopier machine which i now use to photocopy papers like handouts for other students at school so as to get money for sustenance example for food and house rent. It has been very difficult for me to get school fees.
I have not paid this semester's tuition and examination fees of 10,000 and exams are about to start in one month time. This why am requesting for a loan. I will be very glad if you consider my request.

My Business

I will pay my loan using the income i get from my photocopy business. Am also planing to expand it by buying a printing machine which i believe it will increase my income. I photocopy both coloured and black and white papers at an affordable price. Am also friendly to my customers and this attracts them more to my my business. I usually charge 2 shillings per page i.e black and white, and 5 bob per page for coloured papers. For Id cards i charge 5 shillings.
The business may seem to be so cheap but i assure you i make a not less than 4000 shillings which i use for food and house rent and other petty personal sustenance. I also save a small amount of my income to expand my business.
It is located at school's student centre which is a premise that favours every student.
I will pay my loan in installments of 500 per week if i get the loan.

Loan Proposal

I will come up with innovations and create job employments for youths when my dream comes true.Im a hardworking person and I will make it Godwillingly.I have fully understood zidisha rules and regulations and I will adhere to them.
Im requesting lenders to help me raise my fees and i will be very greatful.Thanks in advance lenders.
