About Me

i am elijah gichohi mugo, 24 years of age, single. i finished my mechanical engineering degree course this year and am yet to graduate. i schooled in leshau boys high school and attained B+ in the 2010 in my secondary education. i got 344 marks i my pcea boarding primary school. i love inventing and bringing up new ideas. i love singing, socializing and motivating others. immediately i finished my school i felt the need to give back to my community, so i designed a machine that helps in making paper packaging.

My Business

i do sell packaging papers. after our kenyan government did away with the polythene bags i decided to create the mechanical machines to help in making the papers. initially i worked with IEBC and raised enough money to pay all the cost. i plan on making an automatic machine come next year and increase my production because the demand is high.

Loan Proposal

i am planning to buy a motor first as i take some few lessons on how to build this automatic packaging paper machine, all i have are mechanical machines that are slow. God willing i will be able to build this machine this will increase production and sales since the demand is high. i will also need more employers and i will buy a motorbike to do the supplies.

    Hi Elijah,

    I see you have missed several payments. Please remember that it is important to make payments no matter how small to keep your borrowing account in good standing. Lenders do look at your repayment record when considering who to lend to, by having a good record you are more likely to get funded in the future. You can change your payment schedule at anytime by logging into your account. Margaret
