About Me

I am Clement Ogola, live in Ogera village and I am a businessman dealing in second hand clothes, mainly women wears.
I sat for my Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education in the year 2010 at Atemo secondary school. I obtained a mean grade of B-.
Due to lack of school fees to further my education, I started buying kitchen wares at cheaper prices, market and sell them.
I am married and fathering a daughter. So far I have bought three goats with the profit I have made from the business.
I like inspiring fellow youths to live their dreams and believe in themselves.
For the rest of my life,just want to enjoy freedom by being innovative in business field and help create many opportunities for young generation.
I like playing ball games during my free time.

My Business

I do sell second hand clothes commonly refferred to as mitumba in Mbale town. I have a shop where I display my merchandise and have a good sales reputation.I deal in second hand clothes that I source from the wholesalers from the open air market in Nairobi.
I have always encountered a setback due to bad debtors but it most of them nomarlly settle .I make an average of $90 monthly profit.This is after expenses of averagely $60 hare been deducted.My source of income to help me repay the loan shall come from my business which is stable but require expansion to capture more clients.
I`ll ensure I abide by zidisha regulations outlined and repay the loan promptly.
I humbly look forward to your positive response in regard to my application.

Loan Proposal

If I get the second loan from zidisha,I will add more bales of clothes to the current stock. I have always dealt in men's wear but if my loan application is considered, I will give a trial to ladies' wear as well since I have always recieved a high demand for such stuff. I look forward to use the money to purchase building materials to improve the condition of my shop including painting so that the premises may look attractive to the customers.

    Dear Ogola Clement:
    Hello - I wonder if you are truly going to make repayments? I do hope so, because you may need zidisha in the future and if you pay back, even a little at a time, people will be willing to lend to you again. Good luck!
    Best,
    Karen

    I wish to reduce my installment amount since my business profit has gone too low that the business cannot sustain itself. This is due to bad weather since my juice business does well during hot season. The fruits have also been scarce in the market hence high prices.

    I used the loan that I recieved to stock more clothes for my customers. This has helped me serve more customers hence more profit realised. My earnings have increased incredibly by an average of 4000KES. I managed to buy two cows from the profit I made. The profit also helped me in purchasing some household stuff like a home thratre sound system and a flat screen LED television. So far I have started constructing a steel container shop.
