About Me

My name is Jenipher Achungo.i am a resident of Nakuru County,Kenya.I was born in the year 1979 at a place called Shikoko location in Kakamega County,Kenya.I started going to school in the year 1987-1994 in St.Paul's Primary School.Later in the year 1995,i joined Flamingo Secondary School,Nakuru, in form One.In the year 1998,I did my (K.C.S.E),Kenya certificate of Secondary Examinations.
In the year September,2005,i joined Kenya Institute of Management for my Diploma in Business Management and i graduated in the year 2007.I started looking for an employment within the City and in the year 2008,i was lucky to get one from Silicon Cyber Investments.I worked in a position of a supervisor until we were laid off in the year 2009,by the company management due to company's financial crisis.I worked for one year and five months only.That is when i decided to open my own business since i had some savings in my bank account.

My Business

My business deal with all types of Candy(sweets),biscuits,ground-nuts,scratch-cards(Safaricom,Airtel Yu,Orange airtimes)Cigarettes,local daily News papers,simu ya jamii and refilling gas cylinders.I started this business in the year 2010.My business is registered under the by-laws of Nakuru Municipal Council regulations.I started this immediately i got some money from my savings which i got from my former work.
You can buy all types of sweets and biscuits,ground-nuts among other products which are in today's Kenyan market.The other services you can get from my store are,you can buy a cooking gas cylinders.My customers oftenly come for my services since i do sell at a reasonable price and also provide free home delivery of the products.(refilled gas cylinders)
In the year November, 2011,i was loaned Ksh.50,000/= from the Vision Afrika Savings &Credits Co-Operative Society Ltd and repaid within 12 months time,which ran until December,2012.For now i do not hold any debt from any institution .That is why i was requesting from the Zidisha Micro finance to grant me a loan so that i can buy the goods in wholesale and in bulky and also buy the Gas cylinders in bulky so as to satisfy my customers needs and in large volumes.There is a high demand of the commodity,hence the Gas supply is very demanding in this area.Thank you and God bless you all.

Loan Proposal

Thank you so much the Zidisha Microfinance for my loan approval.(1)I will add more stock in my cooking Gas cylinders and (2)I will buy more sweets and biscuits and all other types of snacks,hence I will be paying my monthly loan repayments without any problems.Also i will abide by your rules and regulations.Thank you once again and welcome all the bidders for funding.Thank you.

    Thank you zidisha and lenders for the support that you have given me through funding my business.When kenya devolved the government,the new governers relocated our businesses to a new site so as to expand the town.This really affected our businesses since january due to the fact that thr place was not favourable to our businesses.I promise to pay more when we get back to normalcy.Thank you again and sorry for any inconviniences that i have caused.

        Jenipher,

        I'm happy to hear that everything is OK and profits are up. Since you missed your first repayment which was due on Jan 15 and your next repayment is due in 4 days, I would recommend you reschedule your loan. Because of the missed repayment your on-time repayments score has already gone down.

        Take care,
        Cris
