About Me

My name is Brian Wafula Agunda, I am 31years old living in Nairobi Kenya. I attended my primary education in Nairobi's St Mary's school and later transferred to Laiser hill academy in kajiado where I completed my secondary education. Unfortunately I didn't attain enough points to join university so I started working for my uncle as a taxi driver in Nairobi city in order to provide for my family.

My Business

I inherited this taxi business from my uncle when he became sick and retired. Since then my profits doubled from $10 to $20 per day. My core business is to ferry persengers to their various destinations at a convenient fee. Unfortunately due to the age of my vehicle I have been spending so much of my hard earned profit in the garage repairing and replacing worn out parts of my vehicle since its now around 27 years old. My future plans are to upgrade my old vehicle to a newer model in oder to save on maintenance costs and increase on profits because I realised on a bad month I get spend around 60% of my profits fixing my vehicle. With your assistance I will be able to archive my goal of upgrading my vehicle in order to provide efficient services to my customers and in return increase my profits

Loan Proposal

I want to repair and replace various worn out parts in my vehicle in order to provide better services to my loyal customers

    Hi zidisha family I'm very sorry I have skipped some payments the reason was during this election period in Kenya my taxi got badly vandalized as one of the presidential contestants was coming into the country robbing me of my only source of income. since that day I haven't been able to make payments as I'm waiting for my insurance company to pay for the cars repairs. At the moment I'm surviving through the help of my extended family of which I think they are getting tired of giving me handouts. Please bare with me through this trying times but soon enough I will be able to resume my payments. Thank you for supporting my business I will not let you down
