About Me

My name is Doris Dama Baya. Am twenty three years old. I just finish my secondary education last year. I run a small business of cleaning and pest control. I was once employed by a company dealing with cleaning and pest control such as rats, cockroaches, flies e.t.c. I quieted the job because they were not paying me good salary and their salary always came late. So as a result of jobless i did not want to be idle just like other girls. An idle mind it's the devil workshop. I also wanted to cater for my needs, i did not want to relay on my parents. The business so far is doing good because in there working area there's no competition but i lack cleaning machines. As a result of that i need a loan to buy those machines.

My Business

I do offer services of cleaning buildings (outside and inside), compound, Furniture's, and also do pest control and others cleaning services. My working area is Mtwapa Town but sometimes i operate up-to Mombasa because some of my clients shifted there. In a month i can make about Ksh 39000. I hire machines which i pay for them Ksh 13000 a month. I have one staff whom i pay him ksh 9000. I spend about Ksh 5000 on transport and communication. At the end am saving about Ksh 12000. If i could have the cleaning machines and other needed items i could save a lot of money.

Loan Proposal

Thanks so much Zidisha for accepting my application. I have been lacking the capital to expand my besiness but now am very hopefully to get it here. When i get tha loan am going to buy some cleaning machines and chemicals and other needed items. I will do my very best in my project and also i promise to pay my loan on time. Thanks Zidisha once again.

    Dear Lenders,

    my name is Roberta Zenere and I am a Kenya Country Liaison Intern at Zidisha.

    We have received a message from Doris yesterday. She was admitted at the hospital, so she will be in late with her loan repayment this month.
    At Zidisha, we really appreciated that she communicated to us despite the difficult times that she is currently facing.

    Doris, we wish you all the best and we hope that you will recover soon.

    Lenders, if you have any questions, please, feel free to contact us.

    Thanks and best wishes to you all,

    Roberta
    Zidisha Team
