About Me

I am a kenyan youth with IT background and ready to get off with my enterprenuer ambition. Born in a family of four, raised and went to school in eastleigh. I am diploma holder and working in an IT firm. I have started a business dealing with mens outfit targeting the employed ones for decent clothing of boths shirts and trousers. As of now, i am thinking how to expand my clientele list. After learning about Zidisha from a friend, i thought this is the best place to do hence improve my business operation. The main reason why i opened this business is become financially free, have time to do other staff like ministry since i am a born again christian and other sorts of responsibilities. I would appreciate being given an opportunity to get a loan and also thank the Zidisha community for such a brilliant idea. This will help many especially the youth who are looking to become stable financially and hence improve their productivity making kenya an industrious society, facility the growth of the economy and peoples lives.

My Business

I am doing the business mentioned above as a side hustle and since i am employed and the business is getting profits, i want to assure you that repaying of the loan wont be difficult, especially that there are no security, collateral and other requirements being asked by many financial institutions, hindering many to take loans. Personally, i feel privileged to have known Zidisha, and i know that i will be responsible to adhere to my loan repayment schedule and prove my sincerity, faithfulness to you guys.

Loan Proposal

the money will be used in buying the farm inputs for farming tomatoes and capsiccum for a leased farm located in eastern kenya. i was expecting to get a hire amount but its not sufficient though will help. I will appreciate given this support and move on with farming business. The farming business is doing well in the kenyan market and hoping to do this.

    Hi Samuel
    You have made no payments for a long time and have not communicated either. This is no way to treat lenders. Please tell us what is going on.

    i am rescheduling this payment plan due to some financial constraints, things are a tight and situations tricky to enable smooth repayment of the loan as scheduled. But very committed and willing to meet my pledge of payment. Will appreciate given the chance to rescheduled and thanks to the ZIdisha family and the lenders at large.

    Hey Samuel,

    I noticed you're a volunteer mentor for Josephine Mitei. She is behind on her loan repayments and hasn't responded to my inquiries about her progress.

    Could you contact her for me to see how she's doing?

    Thanks!

    -Steve

    i am rescheduling my loan repayment due to financial constraints i am at the moment, but will continue to honor my commitment to the lenders. Zidisha has done a tremendous work by giving an opportunity to access loans to the low incomers without struggle and therefore the repayment of the loans should be handled well. I want thank my lenders and zidisha at large for such an opportunity.

    Samuel, glad to see you are holding a phone. Can you ring Samuel Gathemba, one of your mentees, and see what is with him. He hasn't
    been heard from in months.

    I see that you are the volunteer mentor for Wilson Mwangi. He hasn't made any payments at all on his loan. Would you be so kind as to speak to him about it?
    Thanks.
