About Me

I was born and raised in the rural areas of central rift valley province. My family has 6 children and am the first born. My parents were unemployed and relied on small scale farming thus life was hard and sometimes we went the whole day with only porridge. I had to drop out of school after completing primary education so that I can support my family to offset family daily expenses.

I was involved in casual jobs and the little I got partly gave to my parents while the rest I saved to start my own business. After 4 years of working as casual, I used part of my saving to start retail shop for my parents which they operate and use to offset family expenses as well as keeping my siblings in school. I later secured employment at beauty shop because I knew how to pleat hair and used to save most of my wage then after 5 years, I established my own business which is based in githurai and now it has been in operation for over 3 years and the progress is good.

I have one child who is in local public primary school and she is always the best in arithmetic. When am not working , I like jogging with my daughter.

First I would like to thank you for helping Me to achieve my goal. You have been a big help to me since I joined Zidisha.am humbly requestingyou to give a loan to boost my hardware an I promise to pay in time.by this my profit will help me to pay my children's school fees in time.. for this is the only big thing I can give them.thank you in advance as you consider me.may the lord bless you as you go on helping those in need.

Loan Proposal

I am grateful to all who contributed towards my first loan and now wish to request for another loan so that I can buy a soft drink refrigerator which will be stationed at mmy business premises. The soft drink refrigerator cost kshs 25800 hence I will use Zidisha loan and part of my savings. The soft drink refrigerator will attract more customers as within the neighborhood their is no refrigerator. This will increase my monthly profit for my business by approximately 70%. This will enable me to expand my business and start to offer other kind of beauty services.
