About Me

My name is Benard . I am a kenyan citizen. I come from a family of two brothers and two sisters. I am the third born in our family. I am staying in Nakuru County at a place called Ponda mali. I completed my high school in the year 2007. In the 2008, I joined Kenyatta University and did a course in business management. I graduated in the year 2011 and in the year 2012; I decided to start a business of selling treated water to Ponda mali people and its environs. I decided on this business because there was shortage of clean treated water in this area. Ponda mali is like a slum area. It doesn’t have tap water. This has resulted into constant breakout of water borne disease such as diarrhoea, cholera, malaria, trachoma, typhoid and scabies. I manage to start this business with the money that I had borrowed from micro-finance. With this money I bought three storage water tanks. Today I am serving a good number of Ponda mali people with treated water but more still needs to be done in order to be able to eradicate water born diseases this area.

My Business

I am running a business of selling treated water. I have three selling water points which I managed to establish with the three water tanks that I bought. Each of my tanks holds 10,000litres of water. I normally source treated water from the municipal council of Nakuru then I sell it to the residents of Ponda Mali. A jerican of 20 litters of water goes for Ksh 20. My business is on high demand because I am the only person who sells treated water in this area. I am normally able to sell over 4,000 litres of water per day. Despite having three selling water points, I have not been able to cater for the demand of treated water that is required in this area; I am therefore appealing to Zidisha micro-finance to help me bring more treated water to this area. I would like to add more water tanks so that I can be able to sell to other parts of Ponda mali which has not yet been able to access treated water.

Loan Proposal

I take this opportunity once again to thank my lenders for the support that they have given me earlier. Once again, I am hereby applying for my second loan. My aim is to increase clean water supply in Ponda mali area. I would like to see water born diseases completely erected from Ponda mali. I am therefore going to use my loan to buy more water tanks with bigger capacities. I am also going to employ more people to work at this water points. This will increase supply of clean water in ponda mali which will lead to good health for the people.
