About Me

Married to one wife and with 2 children who I love so much and working very hard to make their life comfortable. In education I did my o level exams in the year 1997 and from then I joined a local polytechnic for a course in welding and fabrication for two years. I was employed by a company in Kenya Industrial area maintenance department where I worked for eight years as a casual laborer. In employment the life was not easy because the salary was not enough to cater for my family after I got married and decided to quit employment and start a business of construction contractors which was a very good decision to make in my life, This has made my life better and am able to provide for my family.

My Business

I started the business of construction contractor for the last three years and my business is doing good. My work entails building a whole house from the scratch and till I finish. may people prefer my services because I keep my promise and some time complete the contract before the agreed time, my pricing us also reasonable because I do not want to exploit my customer. The challenge of the business is the big a mount require to be paid or buy material for the contract before your are paid by the owner. This why I require funding from Zidisha for down payment of contracts.

Loan Proposal

Thanks for this opportunity to post my loan for funding in Zidisha Microfinace, I apply for a loan of USD 100 will assist me in my building construction business where am required to work before any payment is made by my clients to ascertain level. I need some capital to make some down payment for my client this will enable me win many contract because I will have enough cash to pay and start the project for my customer dispute a high competition from big companies. hope you will be willing to fund me.

    Greetings Mr. Mburu,
    Welcome to zidisha. I think you will become a good borrower with Zidisha. Once you get your up-front money for supplies, you'll be in a good position to pay back your loans.
    I am so pleased that you declare your love for your wife and children. I can see that they are important in your life. Too many men act as if their family is invisible.
    It is sad that a man who passed his O level and attended polytechnic cannot get a decent job. But your disappointment has been a path to your success. I think that as a contractor, you are you making more money, and you are happier.
    Best wishes for health for your family, continued success in your business and general prosperity, Ann (namaste250)
