Loan Proposal

Am proud of being associated with Zidisha since 2012 when I applied for my first loan. For the three loans that I got from zidisha have made me start projects that do benefit the community around where I stay. Am proud of the projects that I have developed using the Zidisha funds.
The second loan I started a computer awareness classes that have made many people know how to use a computer. Since I started this project in 2013, at least 100 people have known how to use the computer yearly. I have bought 8 computers for this project.
The third loan I used it to start a tailoring and dress making in 2016. I have 6 sewing machines in this project that I use to train those who have finished primary education and did not manage to proceed with their higher education, Up to today I have 8 learners who attend class daily and am preparing them for a Trade test grade 3 at the end of this year by December.
I look forward to expand this project when i get zidisha funds by buying more (2) computers and (4) sewing machines.
For this loan I want to buy the following:
a) 2 computers @ Ksh 15,000/= --- Ksh. 30,000/=
