About Me

i am married and a mother of five children.my eldest son is in KABARNET BOYS HIGH SCHOOL and my husband works with the ministry of health in Nakuru Town.I LIVE IN MARIGAT TOWN AND AS EXPLAINED EARLIER, I AM SITUATED AT THE LAST SHOPS AS YOU YOU GO AHEAD USING KABARNET ROAD AND ON THE LEFT OF THE ROAD THERE IS A SHOP CALLED BARAKA SHOP WHICH IS ALSO HAVING AN MPESA.(LAST SHOPS).
THAT IS WHERE I LIVE BEHIND THE SHOP AND THE TWO BUSINESS ARE MINE.
ITS IN LOT NO 210.
I WAS WORKING WITH KENYA TELECOM UNTIL THE YEAR 2011 WHERE A LARGE NUMBER OF STAFF WAS LAID OFF SINCE THE COMPANY WAS AFFECTED BY THE GROWING TECHNOLOGY AND I WAS ALSO AFFECTED.
MY HUSBAND AND I HI DECIDED TO OPEN A KIOSK AND A MPESA IN MARIGAT WHERE WE ALSO HAVE CATTLE SO AS I COULD MANAGE AND ASSIST THE FAMILY TOO.THE KIOSK IS WHERE WE SELL SELL HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND MPESA IS WHERE WE USE MOBILE BANKING.

My Business

IN MARIGAT THERE IS VERY VIEW MPESA AGENTS AND I NORMALLY MAKE SO MANY SERVE MANY CUSTOMERS EVERY DAY.ALSO ,WE DON'T HAVE A NEAREST BANK IN THE AREA AND SO EVERY MORNING I SEND MY HUSBAND TO GO WITH CASH AS HE WORKS IN NAKURU TOWN SO SO DEPOSIT THE MONEY AND ENABLE ME MAKE DEPOSITS.
THESE HAS ENABLED US TO GET GOOD COMMISSIONS EVERY MONTH.
EVERY MONTH I MAKE OVER KSH.25000 AND DAILY SALES FOR THE SHOP RANGES FROM KSH.1000-2000.
THE BUSINESS IS PROFITABLE AND THERE ARE NO MUCH RISKS COMPARED TO THE TOWN.
I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE IF ACCORDED THE LOAN TO BOOST THE CAPITAL OF THE MPESA.
THANK YOU.

Loan Proposal

Thank you very much Zidisha for activating my loan profile.The loan will be used mainly to add more float to the M.pesa especially now that i am in a remote area where it really hard to access any banking facility.
It will also assist me greatly in reducing the constrain of finishing the float and working capital respectively very faster which will in turn increase my monthly commissions.

    Ms. Mwangi,

    How are you and your business doing? I see that you are now 3 weeks in arrears after having rescheduled. Could you please update your lenders on your situation? We would like to know if you are facing any problems and when you will restart repayments.

    Thanks,
    Cris

    hi lenders,my business has not been bad though i needed to reschedule to give me a return since for the past few days my home area has experienced issues of insecurities as people get much more difficulties due to animals being stolen from the community leading to conflicts and fights.
    Returns is slow due to low sales but i believe these will end.Thank you.

    does it really takes all these long for account to be credited?

      Yes, it sometimes takes a little time. This week had a US national holiday, so banks were closed.
      Zidisha keeps borrowing costs low by using only volunteers to do the work, and sometimes they have too much to do. I hope you understand. Thank you for making a payment.

    This page allows you to propose a change to your repayment schedule. If you choose to lengthen your repayment period, you will be asked to pay interest for the additional time the loan will be held, at the same annual interest rate as is applied to your current loan repayment schedule. If you shorten your repayment period, the interest you will be asked to pay will be reduced.

    Dear Lenders,

    my name is Roberta Zenere and I am a Kenya Country Liaison Intern at Zidisha. Within this role, I am coordinating the Zidisha's MPESA team, responsible for processing loan repayments and disbursements.

    Today, while reviewing our accounts, I noticed that the repayment of 5.66 USD (495 KES) posted on October, 25 in the repayment schedule of Ms Wangechi was entered by mistake. This means that, upon removal of the transaction, the amount that had been credited to your lender account will be reversed and will reduce your available balances accordingly.

    We are sorry for this inconvenience. Please, let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks for your patience!

    Best regards,

    Roberta
    Zidisha Team

    Dear Catherine,
    Your first payment arrived Friday. I want to thank you for being a responsible business partner.
    I hope that the modest first loan from Zidisha has helped your business.
    Best wishes to you.
    Marvin
