About Me

I was born and raised in the rural areas of central rift valley province. My family has 6 children and am the first born. My parents were unemployed and relied on small scale farming thus life was hard and sometimes we went the whole day with only porridge. I had to drop out of school after completing primary education so that I can support my family to offset family daily expenses.

I was involved in casual jobs and the little I got partly gave to my parents while the rest I saved to start my own business. After 4 years of working as casual, I used part of my saving to start retail shop for my parents which they operate and use to offset family expenses as well as keeping my siblings in school. I later secured employment at beauty shop because I knew how to pleat hair and used to save most of my wage then after 5 years, I established my own business which is based in githurai and now it has been in operation for over 3 years and the progress is good.

I have one child who is in local public primary school and she is always the best in arithmetic. When am not working , I like jogging with my daughter.

My Business

First I would like to thank you for helping Me to achieve my goal. You have been a big help to me since I joined Zidisha.am humbly requestingyou to give a loan to boost my hardware an I promise to pay in time.by this my profit will help me to pay my children's school fees in time.. for this is the only big thing I can give them.thank you in advance as you consider me.may the lord bless you as you go on helping those in need.

Loan Proposal

I am grateful to all the Zidisha lenders that contributed towards my first and second loan as it has contributed towards increase in my monthly income. I wish now to expand my business by establishing Mpesa franchise in another location and the total budget is $ 385 and I have raised $ 85 from my savings thus I kindly request Zidisha members to support my loan with $ 300. I will use the loan to purchase the Mpesa float so that I can serve more people. Their is huge demand for the services at my local place hence through your support I will be able to create employment for one local person to assist with the running of the business and also increase my total income with approximately 80%. I will use part of my profit to support my siblings to start own business to improve their living standard.

I kindly appeal to Zidisha lenders to consider supporting my loan.
