About Me

As a young boy I was not that brilliant type but I was gifted with repairing machines. I had hoped I will continue to the tertiary after senior high but I didn't have that opportunity. I taught I could do something meaningful by learning something. I had to walk almost five kilometres weekly for two years to learn a how to repair motor since I didn't have means to buy a bicycle. I knew that since I was the first to learn how to repair motor I will stay in my town rather than to go else where. The land here is very fertile and people here are very kind too. My children would want to be any profession they dream of. I enjoy handball very much and I enjoy seeing school pupils play the time they have games.

My Business

I repair motorbikes. Its useful because people here farm a lot and they need motorbikes to help them and since there is nobody here who repairs their broken down motorbikes I felt I should learn it and help help. The cost includes buying tools, shop and materials. Revenue includes charging people for services I provide by inflating tyres and repairing broken down parts. I reinvest part of my profit and also use the rest for bread and butter

Loan Proposal

I want to sell engine oil. One litre costs about 4 dollars. So with this loan i will be able to buy at least five quantities for a start. Since I am selling engine oil alongside repairing of motorbikes I expect to get at least 50 cents on every litre I sell. It takes at least one month for someone to change his oil for new one. I believe in doing something rather that sitting idle

    Hi! I have seen you have not been paying your loan for the past few days. Is there any reason for this?

    Hi Yaw, I see you have fallen behind in your loan payments. Please contact [email protected] if you need to adjust your payment. Put your country and reduce payment in the subject line. Zidisha is a powerful tool to grow businesses, when used properly. By maintaining a high repayment rate you can get larger loans over time. Repaying on time gives others the chance to get loans as lenders continually relend funds that are paid back. I hope you and your family are well, Mary

    Since we are in the farming season people use motorbikes a lot hence my income has increased marginaly hence the need to increase my installment.

    Hi Lenders, I bought set of spanners and air-pump with it. I am now able to inflate people's tire without so much difficulty and I have new set of spanners to replace my old ones. I charge anyone who inflates his or her tyre with the air-pump be it bicycle or motorcycle. I want to sell engine oil so I am saving the money to get enough to do so.
