About Me

I started school a young boy and by 2007 completed my KCPE with a B+ , However due to financial issues I wasn't able to join Secondary school immediately. After two years I joined and completed my KCSE in 2013, I lost my mum who was by then supporting my secondary education from her small business. I struggled so much and joined Kenyatta University where I was being partly supported by bursaries and by my own from the part time self employed job I did. However, since I could no longer benefit from the bursaries, I shifted to full time business to raise fund for my school.

My Business

I trained and got knowledge on how to handle cameras from Abedys media studios. Currently I do video shooting and editing for events and occasions. However since I need raw materials for the same, I need more money to buy such materials and for facilitation and far much to expand my scope.

Project Proposal

I started a tuckshop at a busy place within my town, I am looking forward for kind financies to help support me to invest in fast shop products for my tuckshop. Having understood the niche in my environment, I am planning to invest in both welding and furniture accessories that are the major products that the customers around me consume.
Kindly help me get the finance so that I continue running this business. I promise to keep my payment schedule as I habe always done and to also help contribute back to other Zidisha family when able to. Looking forward to your kind contributions, regards.

    Dear Zidisha Team,
    I am writing to bring to your attention a situation I am currently facing regarding my loan repayments.
    Over the past two weeks, unforeseen financial challenges have arisen, making it difficult for me to meet the full installment amount as initially agreed. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

    In light of my current circumstances, I kindly request your understanding in adjusting the weekly installment amount. I am actively working to overcome these challenges and am committed to fulfilling my financial obligations.
    I appreciate your consideration and would like to assure you that I am dedicated to resolving this matter promptly. Your understanding during this time is invaluable to me, and I am grateful for the support you have provided.
    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Dear Zidisha Team
    I'm writing to request a brief adjustment to the repayment schedule due to unexpected delays in the inventory investment's progress. To maintain financial stability, I propose a temporary reduction in the upcoming instalment amount. I remain dedicated to meeting the agreed terms and appreciate your understanding.

    Thank you.

    Hello Zidisha Team,
    Currently, the inventory investment I pursued with the funds I generously received has not yielded the anticipated returns as quickly as expected. To ensure a more manageable financial situation during this initial phase, I kindly request a modification to the repayment plan, specifically a reduction in the upcoming instalment amount. I assure you that this adjustment is temporary, and I remain committed to fulfilling the agreed-upon terms as soon as my inventory investment gains traction.
    I appreciate your understanding .
    Best regards,

    Dear Zidisha Community,
    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude and share the impact your support has had on my life and my small tuckshop project. With the loan provided by Zidisha, I was able to take significant steps towards my dreams;
    The loan allowed me to expand my inventory and stock a wider variety of products, catering to the diverse needs of my customers. This expansion led to increased daily sales and higher profits.
    Also, with the growth of my tuckshop, I was able to hire an additional employee from my local community, providing them with a stable source of income. This positively impacted not only my life but also the livelihoods of others.
    Thanks to your trust and support, I successfully repaid the previous loan in a timely manner. This not only helped me establish a good credit history but also made me eligible for a subsequent loan, which I'm eager to use for further business improvements.
    Your backing has been instrumental in this journey, and I can't thank you enough for believing in me and my business. I'm excited to apply for another loan to continue the growth and sustainability of my tuckshop.
    Your continued support is invaluable, and I'm committed to keeping you updated on the progress of this new project. I promise to provide regular updates and share how your contributions are making a real difference in my life and the community.
    Thank you once again for your generosity and trust in my entrepreneurial endeavors. I look forward to the possibility of working together on the next phase of my small tuckshop.

    Warm regards,.
