About Me

Am called Fredrick Omudho ,I was born in the year 1969 in Siaya County .
I attended Primary School between 1980 to 1989 in Segere Primary School,
And due to great poverty level with my parent I did not attend secondary School at all.
I work hard for people in the village as a casual labourer for two years and I earned some little money that I saved to pay for my course of shoe making .
Am married to one wife and blessed with six children ,two boys and four girls.
After I completed my shoe making course I started it in a small way with a capital of 5,000/=Kshs that is back 1994 in Eldoret City.
My culture is that every male Child or boy is expected to marry more than one wife and many children which I refused and that is why I was rejected at home.
My children want to be come a Doctor ,a teacher,A Pastor,and the rest want to become Business men
My hobby at my free time is to study the Bible and browsing the internet and sports.

My Business

I provide New shoes for and also mends old shoes for students ,Children and all categories of people.
This is very useful because there are very industries dealing with kind of commodities in this region and even in the entire nation of Kenya,
and there a big number of student joining school every year in this city of Eldoret.
I chose this kind of Business because I trained on this field and I understand all challenges as regard the Business
My typical cost and revenue is 95,000/=Kshs,
I Use my profit as follows
1.School fess for my children 50,000/=Ksh
3.Reinvestment in growing the Business is 10,000/=Kshs
4.Home improvement is 13,000/=Kshs
My old mother village5,000/=Kshs

Loan Proposal

When I am given this loan amount, then I will buy shoemaking leather, 350 square feet at $550 US dollars.

This will make my work very easy, for I will not [want] for the materials every now and then; therefore, I will concentrate on the work at all times, and from now on many more workers will be also be employed in this business workshop.

When I am given this loan amount and it is implemented according to my plan, then I expect this business to grow at 60% this time and next time all the more. Thanks in advance for lending me again, long live Zidisha.

    The loan I completed servicing was of great benefit to me in that am now able to employ more workers in my workshop and am also able to pay promptly.
    This business has really grown by now by 60% since I started rowing from Zuidisha.
