About Me

Am Miriam Neema Simwelo a lady aged 29 years old . Am a mum to Royal and Psalmist and am married to Hillary Magani.Together we live in nyayo highrise along mbagathi way block G1 door 38.I work with Digital Imaging Systems. I have a bachelors in Human Resource Management. We are currently doing farming and mpesa business that we began by our personal savings and we would like to expand our businesses.

My Business

Our mpesa business gives financial aid of depositing and withdrawing cash for day to day use and sometimes due to the many customer base we command we are affected by our float (amount in our mpesa account) Our business is able to repay its loan because of the profits we make. Our farming business also does well and we intend to lease a bigger piece of land than the one we currently farm on. Our customers prefer our business due to our customer care and the fact that we consider our customers our boss without them we wouldn't be in operation.

Loan Proposal

The added amount in my float will help me serve more customers effectively. It will help build up the business profits and eventually open another mpesa outlet.By that it will also create job openings for young people who can be trusted in business. Am requesting lenders to support my business so that i can not only be a solution to my family but to Kenya,Africa and the world at large by serving people and building nations making the world a better place.

    am so sorry for failing to pay the loan i had financial issues in my business and am currently out of work. i have been unable to pay due to the financial constraints and its not on purpose. i tried sending a text to the zidisha number and am kindly requesting you to kindly bear with me . my farming business am still expecting to harvest in a couple of months and the mpesa business needed a little more to flourish and am working on it and as i mentioned earlier am out of work right now from last month and i was not paid.
