About Me

Am the second born of a family of four. I have 2 sisters and me and and a brother. Beside that am a proud husband and father of three daughters. My wife has been employed as a receptionist in one of the hotels in Naivaisha town My father and mother are peasant farmers in our our farm in Naivaisha. I have been also working on the piece of farm that was given by my father and I do grow capsicums and onions. I have manage to buy a car that I use as a cab in Naivasha town to supplement in my income on the farm.

My Business

Am a farmer and I deal in capsicums and onions. I have done this for the past four and half years and am very impressed, as I have been able to buy a car that I use as a taxi in Naivaisha town. This has also come to the notice of my parents and they want we join hands and also cultivate on their piece of land. Due to increase demand f capsicum and onions we have decided to plant more to increase on the profit. I make a proximately 25 usd a day on the cab and that is good amount that has been able to pay my bills.

Loan Proposal

The loan am going to be given am going to by capsicum seed and onions seeds. On the half an acre am going to plant in a ¼ onions and in a ¼ capsicum. For the years I have been doing this it has always been a success and now with zidisha am so happy that I will be able to expand and this means more yields and more profits.

    Halloo members,i hereby apologize for the inconvenience for not paying my loan as expected.Something just happened unexpectedly in my job which has brought a huge loss to me.It happened that the place i had rented for my business got demolished by the owner because he wanted to build a permanent building.Since that incident i haven't gotten another place to settle my business.I just beg you lenders to give me to me some more time for me to settle and i will continue to pay my loan as required.Thank you for your understanding.
