About Me

Am a jovial go-getter and I seek to make the best of small opportunities and turn them into a gold mine. My business came about as a venture to give myself extra cash but through the many ideas I received I discovered I was sitting on a fortune which I exploit everyday. Having a humble childhood with people who didn't believe I could make it has steered my morale all through. I love singing as a hobby and am a worship leader in our church and because of my knowledge in sound systems and electronics I serve very well in the technical and sound department. I have a passion for singing and often on my free time i teach my peers how to play advanced chord piano and in keys such as G E and F sharp am looking forward one day not only to run one enterprise but but a series of them both in product and service. Having done numerous job what motivated me was the need to have a side hustle and thereby I was able to think outside the box and come up with an electronic repair warehouse and having my knowledge coming from books classes and materials online especially from cybrary.it . I term myself privileged and one thing I know and understand there is no one who is alive that is poor we all have something to give.

My Business

I run a service venture in mathare area one located at Nairobi eastates where in my shop I deal with repairs of electrical items and maintainance. This includes repairs of DVDs, mobile phones and computers. The area am in is in demand for expertise of such items which i posses on the other hand apart from running this business i have a full time job at an advertising company which assists me in covering my expenses therefore i suppliment my earnings thereby eliminating the possibility of becoming solely dependent on my business my aim is to open more branch shops of my kind and serve many as possible.

Loan Proposal

It has been a steep journey in my business and I can confirm the benefits of zidisha are ever increasing. On this loan I have noted a trend of people buying simple mobile phones in my area that costs as less as $11. I wanna be on the limelight and provide these phones hence increasing my profits. A piece retails at $ 0. 8. And as of now I need to buy 15 pieces of the same.

    I noticed that I made some errors on the purpose for the current loan the figures seem not realistic. I wish there was a way to ammend as what I needed amounts to $110 and the price per mobile phone piece i $8. So sorry lenders for the error.

      Edwin, I hope you are fine there. You know that you can reduce your installment if economically you are unable to to pay the installment you've choosen before. Please keep paying even though in small amount, that way your on-time score will get higher or remain above 90%. I know that you are understand that lenders usually relend borrowers repayment to other borrower.
      Good luck with your business.

    Having taken Zidisha loan for about seven times and his motivational contributions on the Zidisha forum, I have no doubts in Edwin Mmwacha's repayment ability. I am therefore appealing to all the lenders on the Zidisha platform, should kindly lend to support him achieve his dream.
    Thank you all in advance and God bless you as you lenders once again show to him love, kindness and generosity by funding his loan 100%

    Business has been hard due to inadequate funding as some of my business prospects have been discouraged by my untimely delivery to service requests. It is with this reason that I have chosen to speak with my lenders for assistance in this time that I really need all the help I can get. Am hoping to be considered in my plea for funding and bring myself to a place of hope in a time as this where my business is at its knees. Please my lender i.e Paul Bucheitt, and Graham plus the others I need your help.

      Hi Joost I keenly followed your advice and not even a 1% funding has been made in the last two applications this has been quite disappointing.
