About Me

I am Edith Kinya Mugambi. I am currently pursuing my degree in Education, after graduating with Diploma in the same. I decided to better my education because of a stiff competition for teachers. I have a small boutique which helps me with day to day survival and sometimes supplement my education fees. I depend on my parents entirely for education needs. I have employed a former classmate and look forward to employing more unemployed people. I am looking for money to expand the business. For instance, I look forward open a second boutique which I will employ some guys to run it.

My Business

BOUTIQUE BUSINESS (Clothes selling)
I opened the boutique at Chuka University. This was after I did the analysis and found that students needed cheap clothes. My target is now to open more boutiques and help reduce unemployment. I intend to Open a $250 boutique at Chogoria market.

Current business has grown from a $150 input to roughly $250, at the current state. This increase was after a period of two years since it was opened. I managed to stock my business with the $150 lendered in my first application. I am looking forward to stock it further with trendy and recent fashions before starting on a future plan to have more boutiques in different centres in our area.

Loan Proposal

I have done a through research on what will sell in the local society. After collection and analysis of data, together with a trial boutique business, I realized that there is lack of quality supply of cloths. regarding that my consumers are mostly students, who actual invest in looking good and being decent, I had a plan of expanding the business. the challenge that faced me is the starting capital.
Now with Zidisha funding, I will use the money to start up a new boutique branch. Since I will not be able to operate by myself, I will employ a person, hence creation of employment opportunities. Later, I will use the profits to invest more and more in order to grow my business empire.

    I am sorry for not repaying my plan as agreed. My business has been struggling since earlier this year. I got sick and had to leave it under a different management which I presume has affected the income. I have decided to readjust the amount further into a dollar weekly as the country's economy is aslo bad. Hope you understand. I promise to be committed in completing fully repayment with time. Thank you.

    I apologize for inconveniencing the lenders. Things have not yet worked well with my boutique. However, I believe that things will be well. I expected that my business will pick immediately in other branches that I opened so that I can raise the funds to repay. Currently, I investing my efforts into marketing. I am trying to make it out in order to repay the loan. I hope you will understand. Thanks in advance.

    I have a have been repaying my dues with no difficulties. However, the trend has been affected as the business has been struggling to pick. I had invested a lot in the business but currently, the returns are very low and I put them back to the business so that the business do not corrupse. I look forward to start repaying as soon as the business picks, I will reschedule back to a better amount. Thank you.

    Dear Zidisha support, I will to ask for a rescheduling from repaying shillings 3156 to shillings 1000 weekly. The amount will be manageable since I will be repaying from my current stock. Therefore, my request is to be given a maturity period until I implement my project soon. This is to enable me utilize the money that I borrowed in purchasing the stock. I will reschedule back when the sells starts to flow. Thank you.
