About Me

I'm kenyan by birth from kisii county born in a family of 8 members. Went to primary school Kebirigo and joined secondary at Nyachwa adventist secondary school due to lack of school fees i could not go further because my mother used to be sick throughout until villagers could come to our help. Laiter i got another pastor who offered to take me to polytechnic where l trained as a dress maker and a bit of typing. After that i went back home stayed bit and later came to Nairobi worked as a house help that is where i got some money started a small business but with difficulties . I straggle with my business but i'm able to raise money for rent house and school fees for my children. In the course of straggling i met with a friend who advised me to join Zidisha . She further informed me that i could borrow extra money and stock my business.

My Business

My business is located at Ongata Plaza building near to Kware stage.I started my business 2years ago with capital of 20 thousand kenya shillngs.i bought a sewing machine and a some few cloth materials and i paid the shop rent.at that point i was ready to move on with my business.at the first it was not all that easy i struggled after sometime it stabilized. I can now pay rent without struggling and make extra profit to make life move on.I can make a profit of about 10 thousand a month having deducted all the business expenses.

Loan Proposal

I will be very much great full if you will consider my loan proposal. If i get the money i will go and buy materials to add to my stock so as to attract more customers and also
i will add another sewing machine more so i'm in need of buying an over locking machine in order to make my work more attractive to my customers. This will enable me at least to increase my income and i will not have trouble in paying rent and my children 's school fee in time. More customers will come in because i will have bought a stock more attractive and it will attract many more and i hope my profit will increase by at least 80% percent by God's grace. Hope and trust that you will consider my loan application thank you.
