About Me

I was born and raised in Nairobi where I grew up with friends. I schooled in Nairobi and after my primary and secondary education, I also completed my college education and begun to build interest in community service.
During my growth I was able to achieve great goals such participating in local sports in our area, youth festivals in my local church.
I had a passion for mentoring children from my area especially in entertainment where I was able to create a group of young and highly motivated teenagers who have become good entertainers. The passion I have for these teenagers, has shown me how to give back to the community.

My Business

My group of dancers perform at events e.g:
1. Weddings
2. Thanksgiving masses
3. House parties /Birthday parties
4. Family gatherings
5. Family fun days in hotels
6. Corporate events
7. Crusades
The goods and services that we provide are useful in many ways since these teenagers become active in positive activities and also acts as a source of income and other needs as school fees and hospitals fees.
It is my passion to give back to the community and am good at building and naturing the talents of my younger community members.
We incur alot costs in transportation to various venues, cost of food and hiring of public address system.we would like to use the money to buy 4 wireless microphones and cables for connecting speakers.
We use the profit to help pay for school fees and visiting of other needy children in our community. We also invest in other project such as buying of dancing costumes to market my group.

Loan Proposal

The money we will get from the loan we plan to buy smokys, eggs and cakes which we usually sell to supplement the groups activities.We will increase the amount of the products and thereby increasing our profit. These projects are supposed to be our stepping stone to our long term goals which are to acquire public address system[microphones,speakers,laptop,mixer and mix track] so that we may be able to provide a full package to our clients.We usually make a profit of 500 every sunday so we believe our profits will double.We would have liked to apply for more money because the entire public address system costs about 1500 dollars but because we have to start with 4000 we are determined to work hard and reach that amount.As you have read our story we are trying to make sure that the group members will be able to go to college.Some are now in form 3 so we have one year to make sure after school they don't idle around the estate.

    The amount I was paying is too little and I think I can manage to pay 250 in each instalment so that I can finish this loan and take another one.

    Dear lenders,
    I communicated to Brian and it is unfortunate that the business project corrapsed.hence his inability to make repayment. I advised him to make an adjustment to his amount what he agreed to do before the end of the day.

    Dear zidisha we are sorry we haven't paid in three consecutive Sundays we had a problem somebody who was supposed to deliver some goods to us after we sent them the money they disappeared so it has been very difficult to adjust back to repaying but we are really trying.Am sure if you look at our past record we have never defaulted our payments.But this coming Sunday we will be back as usual and continue paying.Thanks for being patient with us.
