About Me
Hi Zidisha team! May I take this opportunity to thank you for the loans I have received so far from Zidisha. They have made my life change for the better. My name is Barnabas Mubasu Wesonga. I am the second born in a family of six. I live in Airstrip estate, which is found in Busia town along Busia-Kisumu Highway. I have changed my work, so currently I work as a ward administrator for Marachi Central Ward in Busia County. I worked hard during my school days, and currently I hold a degree: a Bachelor of Arts (Communication and Media Technology) with Information Technology from Maseno University.
I operate a classic barber shop and a hardware store. I started my businesses because I wanted to make an extra coin as well as create employment opportunities for the youth that I have employed in my businesses. I live in a country where everyone is struggling to make ends meet in life. I want to make sure I invest for my grandchildren so that they don't struggle much in life. I have an interest in helping deprived, excluded and vulnerable children and youth, so I take part in sensitizing the youth to avoid drug abuse and live responsibly.
My Business
Currently, I own a classic barbershop and a hardware store. The barbershop is in high demand because everybody wants to look smart and beautiful. For the hardware store, Busia County is rapidly developing, creating a high demand for building materials. I decided to be part of the solution by providing affordable construction materials as we aim at achieving the goals set for Vision 2030. My major expenses include rent for the businesses, electricity bills, licenses and wages for my casual employees. My revenues are profit and the money paid for the services received. I use my profit to pay school fees for my brother and daughter, pay rent for the businesses, purchase more stock, and support my parents and the community.
Loan Proposal
Dear Zidisha team and the lenders,
Thank you once more for the loan you offered to me. It has really changed my life together with those around me. It has also made me realize that through support, people can go far. My name is Barnabas Mubasu Wesonga. I am twenty nine years old. I live in Burumba estate, Busia town in Kenya. I am making my second loan application in order to enable me purchase another pool table after my first pool table started giving me problems. I sold it at a cheaper price and used the money to pay my previous loan which had enabled me to buy a new pool table. The new pool table will attract new customers to make me maintain a monthly income of USD 175 which I get. I have been defeated to raise the money because of the many responsibilities I have of helping my family, the youth and the less fortunate. It is through this pool game that I also interact with the youth in order to share and counsel them.
