My Business

at my work place i earn 15,000shillings at the end of the month and this can sustain my family for the whole month. but i wish to add some more projects in order to gain more money so as my kids go to a better school and get better education that will make them be reliable in future and that they become independent. i was introduced to zidisha by my curiosity to browse and so i made my application that was finally honoured. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Loan Proposal

I WILL PURCHASE THE SHOTR OR DWARF VARIETIES OF COCONUT TREES AND PLANT IN MY SHAMBA SINCE THEY PRODUCE FASTER THAN THE OTHER AMOUNTS THAT ARE IN THE MARKETS. ALSO COUPLED BY THE FACT THAT THERE IS AREADY MARKET FOR COCNUTS AROUND THE COAST I WISH TO UTILISE THE PIECE OF SHAMBA I HAVE SINCE THAT WILL INCREASE MY REVENUE AND MAKE MY LIFE EVEN BETTER AND BE IN A POSITION TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY FAMILY AND MY KIDS AS WELL.

    I am happy to say i received a total of Kenya Shillings 8186 an approximately $ 83. I have paid a deposit of $50 to the person digging the borehole. After the completion of the borehole i will be able to have water in plenty which will enable me do my farming well. He has promised he will start the job by tomorrow. I very grateful to my lenders for funding my loan.

    I am planning to dig a borehole so that it will help me get water for my plants/farming and also for home use. This borehole will benefit not only me but the entire community at large.
    I wish to pass my sincere gratitude to all my lenders for extending your financial support towards my project. Thank you so much.
