About Me

I am Roy Raluoch Odippo from a family of six, i.e. three brothers and one sister. I live in Nairobi, Kenya. I had primary schooling at Trans-Nzoia Primary School in Kitale and later proceeded to St. Joseph's Boys for secondary education.

I did a course in mechanics at the College and got my first job as an intern, which lasted for three months only. From there, it became difficult to get employment and so I was unemployed for two years. However, I really enjoy graphic designing and that is what prompted me to start a business in graphic design.

At first, having no income or capital, I relied on a friend who had the same business and so I would get commission for the jobs I brought. I saved as much as I could until when I could afford to get my first computer to do my own designs.

I come from the Luo community in Kenya. In my free time, I read a lot of books because I believe learning is a life process.

My Business

My main business is branding and graphic designs. It is my core business to put your brand out there for the whole world to know about and eventually increase your business. This is done in both print media as fliers, banners, magazines, and catalogs, and also social media. This service is a basic for any organization or business that requires to be put out there and gain a wide base in the market because of its own marketing.

I chose this kind of business because, number one, it is what I like to do, both as a pastime and a source of income. I can do it anytime, anywhere, and there is also so much potential for graphic designers out there, as the market is never-ending.

I calculate my revenue on a weekly basis, i.e. for printing works after all the deductions (i.e. paper, rent, data, etc.) I have a profit of 2,000 ksh ($20 USD), on the lower side for savings, which I intend to use to buy a digital printer.

Loan Proposal

I plan to use this loan to buy a bundle of printing papers @ 5 USD and three printer catridges @ 20.4 USD each. This will help increase the weekly income by 30 USD since i have in the past spent extra cost outsourcing printers .
This will also assist in time saving as most of the time I have to leave the office to go and print y works else where.

    Hi Lenders, I have been in communication with Roy and he has promised to readjust his installments downwards to an amount he can repay comfortably. I am pushing and keeping in constant touch with him to ensure he is back on track.

    Hi,
    I have been able to serve more clients thus making more profit from the business, at least adding stock, buying more vynl rolls and heat transfer papers making work easier and faster.
    Here is a photo of some of the mugs that I did yesterday for a client.
    With this platform my business will grow faster.
    Thank you lender and the whole of Zidisha team.

    Dear lenders,
    I take this opportunity to thank you again for the loan you gave me.
    Yesterday I received the whole amount I had requested for which was USD150.
    Today I bought some heat transfer paper for T-shirts and got down to business straight away.
    Thank you
    Regards.

    Roy,
    This is a good photo. You're smiling in a business context.....Never the less, I suggest you change it...This will make your application look fresher....Wear a different shirt, so it is clearly different. Do however be sure to smile and show your business in the new photo also.
    Good luck,
