About Me

I am 55 years of age born in Kiambu County where I joined my primary education to secondary school when I sat for my secondary school certificate. After school I was employed as a casual labor where I worked for 10 years after which I started planning to be self employed. I shifted from Kiambu County to Nakuru County where I started farming.
I am married with 8 children 3 girls and 5 boys.

My Business

As per above information, I do involve me in horticulture farming in green house because the plants does not require a lot of water and I can grow in any season provided there is market. Right now I want to renovate my green house and it needs a lot of money. I love my business of horticulture for it is paying me more than the work I was doing earlier before.

Loan Proposal

I need this loan in order to by some of more productive and marketable seeds of tomatoes and peas since people in the community they are after the goods in the market. So I have to meet there demands by getting these seeds. And for in order to sustain good harvest, I have to by some pesticides to control pests and diseases. These will be for my new greenhouse since I constructed a new one.

    Dear lenders, I am Frankline the VM to Peter. I have talked to him and he is experiencing some difficulty with his business but will continue repaying his loan as scheduled from August. However, in the mean time he will review his loan repayment amount so that he can be paying the affordable amounts weekly. Thank you all for your patience and support.

    I do appreciate very much for the first loan you gave me. The loan helped me a lot since I planted more crops in my greenhouse and I was able to control pests and diseases since some of the loan I bought pestcides. For real it changed my living style.

    I can imagine there can be issues that prevent repaying on time. That said, it would be good to have some communication on what is the problem. Thanks..

    Dear Lenders, I thank you for the good work you are doing through Zidisha. Through your support I have gone some steps forward. As Analin has written, I have a big tasks but I am making it because this is part of life. As per now I have updated my payments and I am planning to finish the balance any time for I want to have another loan in order to do timing a good selling season of my horticulture. Hopes you will support me another time. Be blessed by our Almighty God.

    Dear lenders,
    My name is Analin Saturria McGregor and I'm a Communications Associate at Zidisha.
    I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Karuiki today over the phone to hear more about how he is doing. Mr. Kariuki is a hard-working man, committed to fulfilling his commitments while providing for his family. Mr. Kariuki has struggled with timely repayments lately due to school fees. I'm sure you can all imagine what it must be like sending 8 kids to school!
    Despite some cash flow shortages, Mr. Kariuki has continued to repay in smaller installments and is almost halfway through paying back his loan. We wish him a successful harvest and look forward to continuing to support his greenhouse venture.
