About Me

I am 44 years of age married with 6 children 3boys and 3girls. I reached I am a drop out of form two in secondary education because of money. I was forced by situation to start selling water in my area in order to continue with life.

My Business

I do sell water to those who don't have time to go to the river or where the water taps are because in my area, we don't have water in our homes. I love this business because I even meet my customers demand. As you can see, I do use my my donkeys to carry water and I would like to purchase a cart to make work easier and carry more liters.

Loan Proposal

Thanks to Zidisha lenders for the good job you are doing to us. Its good that I have finished my first loan and I hope the second loan will help me to update my business. I want to buy three donkeys to add the one I am have to assist me sell water as demand to my customers. It will cost me kshs 8,000 each. Hopes yo will bid me again. Thanking you in advance.

      Hello Margaret,

      Thank you for your update. Sorry to hear you have been feeling sick. I also have been sick the last few weeks and have spent more money than I wanted to on medicines, so I understand. It is frustrating when our health won't cooperate with what we want or need to do. I hope you are feeling better soon.

      Best wishes to you and your family for a happy 2014,
      Evinpa

    Dear lenders,
    This is Analin Saturria McGregor, Communications Associate at Zidisha.
    Margaret contacted us today from the hospital to explain why she has not been able to complete her April repayment. As she messaged us, she was waiting for her turn to get him injected. She expected to be there for the next 8 hours, waiting. Sadly, her long wait might be for nothing, as there is no guarantee that when it's finally her turn the shot will be available.
    Her child has been sick with malaria and is now battling pneumonia. We are glad to hear she is taking care of her child and are sure you can understand her circumstances. Margaret has proven her responsibility during this loan cycle and when in trouble, has resumed repayments as soon as possible. She is very close - join us in wishing her child a quick recovery and the best of luck to her at the end of this repayment cycle.

    Dear MARGARET WAIRIMU MAINA,

    Thank you for your prompt repayments. I am using the money you pay back to loan to other borrowers in Kenya.

    I hope you, your family and donkeys are doing well. I also hope that the donkey cart is making it easier for you to fetch water for your business.
