About Me

I am 43 years of age married and blessed with two girls. I am a residence of Rongai for more than 30 yrs. I joined the business field about 20yrs ago and I do appreciate what God has been doing to me through my business.

My Business

As I have said I am a business woman for about 20yrs. My business was dress making but I lost all of my stock in a fire when my shop got fire 18months ago. I was left with nothing wih loan paying but God is great because I completed the loan with a great strugle and I am having another business. I started a food kiosk in a very simple way but I thank God because now it has picked and customers like it because of the delicious food that I cook for them. Although there is a great competition God gives me fever for there is no food has remained in any day. I get something to pay the house, keep my family continue with life and buy daily stock among other expenses. My business is located in Rongai matatu stage.

Loan Proposal

To add more stock to my food kiosk(hotel)

    Hi Lenders!

    My name is Kevin Zeigler, and I am a Kenya Country Liaison Intern, and I wanted to update you on the loan status for Mary Wambui. Mary has made contact with our Zidisha staff regarding her loan and her intention to repay her past due balance.

    Due to business decline and several expenses related to her daughter’s education, she has been unable to pay her monthly installments on time. In May, she indicated that she is attempting a new farming technique in hopes to improve her business.

    We are currently working with Mary to determine the best way for her to begin repaying her loan as well as to meet her current expenses. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work with Mary.

    Thanks!

    Kevin
