About Me

I am Christabel atieno Agik a Kenyan citizen who hails from seme kombewa in Kisumu county. am married with a daughter. I do business i sell soft drinks (sodas and chips).I am an O level and college holder. I specialized in IT. I started my business to sustain my family, I do farming with the profit that i make from the business, I like doing art work during my free time i.e weaving baskets and drawing to make extra money. i would also like to do rabbit farming in a large scale in order to promote white meat for a healthy living in my country especially my county.

My Business

I do a personal business in Kisian junction outside kisumu city, about 7 kilomiters from kisumu town. My business is situated along the kisumu busia High way known as Wayside resturant. i have many customers because i sell sodas and chips at a lower price than my competitors. My business is in a strategic place,clean and well organized so i make a good profit of Kshs.40,000 per month. The risk in that business is theft so i have to secure it well. I spend Kshs 70,000 per month on costs and Kshs.2000 on revenue respectively. If i get a loan from zidisha ill repay it through my business.

Loan Proposal

I wish to thank zidisha for the first loan they gave me. I payed it with alot of ease because i bought the chips fryer and i have improved alot in terms of my clients. I also started selling tomatoes to my clients who were coming in my premises.The demand has become high that i want to improve it by growing my own tomatoes from my farm. I take tomatoes from farmers at wholes price and sell them at retail price.I wish to ask for a second loan which i still believe ill be paying comfortably. Kindly if i get the loan of US dollar 306.00 which is equivalent to Kshs. 26,094, i will improve my business and also grow tomatoes which i can get directly from my farm and sell to consumers.

    Hi Christabel, how are you doing and how is the business? Since you have not made any repayments in several weeks, I am curious to know, whether you are having any particular trouble. Best wishes, Sven

    I recommend Christbel for admission into Zidisha. I know her inviter personally. They are hard working people and deserve help to improve on their business. Christabel's inviter is a worthy borrower here and has maintained 100% on-time-repayment record; has even commendation from a zidisha intern.
    Thanks
