About Me

Am a young Kenyan lady aged 27 years old. I have one sister and i have been brought up by a single lovely mother. I have a daughter, five years old.

Since i was young i had a passion in writing. I would try and write small stories or what i thought were novels. None of them were published since they all ended up in the recycle bin. I had no means of establishing them into anything. Today is different because i actually earn through writing. Not novels though. Just academic writing, article writing and blogging. Not to forget transcription.

Am a big fan of movies too. I can spend a whole night watching movies. I love playing basketball and table tennis too.

That me!

My Business

My passion being writing i knew this is how i want to make money. Online work has many advantages. I realized that i could work at home as i take care of my daughter. Through some friends of mine, Walter and Sheeroh, i started this journey and i must say it has not let me down.

Have been working online and per month i could earn upto 400 dollars but because am using the cyber cafe to work i use 100 dollars in paying for the internet. This leaves me with 300 dollars which is only enough for my bills and very little to save.
Online jobs never end. I f you are hard working you can earn much more and if you have your own accounts, the profits are unbelievable. And you could also create employment with your own account.

The reason for applying this loan is for me to buy my own laptop. The last loan I got I managed to buy an account together with some of my friends and it's not doing so bad. You can also check some contracts I have worked on in oDesk. Am still having a challenging having to go to the cyber to do my work there. Since I only qualify for the minimum amount I will have to add some amount from other sources. Your support is highly appreciated. Thankyou

Loan Proposal

When I get this loan I will purchase a laptop to do my transcription job. Currently I Am doing it at the cyber cafe and it's cumbersome and expensive. With my own laptop it will be convenient and cheaper. I could work through out even at home. Some of the contracts I have completed are on my oDesk account which you could access by searching my Name "Vivian Adams". I Am asking for the maximum amount I could get so that I can add to the money I get from other sources. Thank-you.

    I have delayed in paying back the loan due to some financial set backs, so i would like to increase the instalments so that i can finish paying the loan faster than before.

    Hi lenders. I managed to talk to Vivian today. She informed she's at a "bad place" financially and is really keen on sorting her default status. She requested for two months to be able to catch up to her repayments.

    Hi lenders. I am Ian and Vivian's mentor. I managed to get in touch with Vivian today and she is experiencing some financial challenges. She's requested for additional time to sort her financial situation and will be catching up on her loan repayments soon.

    I had an unexpected family emergency that led me to taking time off my work and using some of my savings to solve the issue. This left me unable to make my payments as agreed earlier. I will be going back to my work from Monday. I am sure I will make up for the lost time and be able to make my payments. If I will be able to I will go back to my earlier repayment schedule. Am really sorry for the inconvenience I have caused.

    Hello? So far I have been able to acquire a shared account for starters. It has not Bern easy getting clients but It's getting better. I have not been able to purchase my own laptop yet but am hoping that for the next loan I acquire after clearing the current one I will be able to buy it. I thank my lenders so much and also Zidisha. You are great people. Without you many of us would be lost in poverty. Thank-you.
