About Me

Greetings,
My name is Purity Gacheru, a Kenyan from rural Nyeri County but I work and live near Kenya's Capital - Nairobi. A few years ago I worked in a Bank within the city but unbelievably for me - one morning we found that the Bank had been closed (collapsed)...and down went my job and my savings which I was saving in the same bank for over 9 years. It has been years but I could not just 'wait to see' if I will get my money out sooner. It has still not happened, but I did not go down with it...

My Business

..I have since dusted off and managed to set up my own small business. I buy and sell 2-way communications gadgets, (mostly Walkie Talkies bought from major sellers). Over a short period I have found out that Walkie Talkies are very useful and handy for institutions such as schools, godowns, supermarkets, etc; event organizers and sports events. Most people appreciate the quick way to communicate and also no airtime top ups and no network problems - Just press and talk.

My desire is to be able to stock up and have a good base for supplies so as not to lose a customer and also avoid giving them days or weeks of lead time for delivery. As the market trends move, I definitely will embrace the new technologies in the market to keep pace with the ever changing telecommunication industry.

I AM REALLY GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND ZIDISHA.
Thank you ALL.

Loan Proposal

With the requested loan, I would like to purchase a laptop. This will come in handy in organising my work and especially if I am out of my place where I use a desktop computer. Sometimes I have had to find a Cybercafe to do something urgent, which I could have done conveniently/quickly if I had a laptop on the go.

I kindly request your assistance once more toward this new loan, which I will endeavour to re-pay on time as always.
Thank you.
