About Me

My names are Stephen Chiro Mwambaru. I am twenty nine years old. I was born in a small village in chonyi division. I went Dindiri primary school and after there I did not have the opportunity to go to secondary level as my parents did not have enough money to take me to that level. I joined a security company in Malindi and I started saving my money for a business start up. After that I joined a tourist hotel as in Kilifi as a house keeper and also I saved my salary for a business start up. I also get married to a beautiful lady called loice Chengo and as for now we are blessed with two bright boys. I love those boys that I would do anything to see them happy each and every day passes by.

My Business

I started a business of tailoring in my area. The business is doing well as my wife and do cooperate well to see over vision being implemented. We started this business with only two machines but as for now I have four machines of different types. I have a lot of customers from Kilifi area as most of the clients come from around and far away from my place due to the good work and reputation I have made in Kilifi county. I have been in the business for over three years and I have been making a profit of more than eighty hundred shillings a day. Given this zidisha loan I will be in a position of aiming higher than the first disbursement as I am planning to make it a college by the coming two years.

Loan Proposal

Thank you so much for approving my loan for application. I will add stock to my tailoring shop and mostly I wanted to buy new brands clothes for sale, and with this loan i will be in a position to buy the materials. I will also use this loan to market my business within my community.I will also use this loan to fashion my kiosk and pint it with new colours for more attraction as the ones which are there are old and rough.

I tried to reach Mr. Chiro on phone today but we could not communicate ostensibly due to a network problem. I managed to call his community leader who promised to get in touch with him on Sunday and remind him of his obligations. Thanks.

Dear lenders,

I spoke to Mr. Stephen today and he told me that his shop was broken into and he lost his machines. He is now back on his feet and he will resume payments at the end of this month.

Thank you for your patience.
