About Me

About Me
My names are Patrick mambo i was born in 1984 single in my family .I finished both primary and secondary education before getting a job as bike taxi driver. I have done this job till I was able to buy my second hand bike which I use as my source of income. My typical day starts at 5am in the morning and work until 10pm. I have siblings who depend on me especially two who are schooling in high school but I thank God am managing. I live on rented premises and I plan to get a wife and have a family in the near future. I got the bike in rather bad condition so am busy saving as buy and replace spares which aren’t working well. During my free time I visit the sick in hospitals especially on Sundays after church. I have a plan of owning two bikes.

Loan Proposal

Loan Proposal
I have managed to save and been replacing parts but now I want to replace a block, and hind wheel and the exhausts which will cost about $120 that is enough to make it look new and be in good condition. From your funding I will be able to buy new spares and insure it with a comprehensive insurance. this will increase my income. I will repay my loan from my savings and income. Therefore I request lenders to consider my request to achieve the dream. Thanks in advance
