About Me

Was born in1977,received primary education, due to lack of fees,i couldnt proceed with secondary education, i was forced to look for casual jobs to help my family,until I was sponsored to Bible school by the Church, now im pastoring a local church in likoni,some small handouts i started selling drinking water to pedestrian in a busy street.

My Business

the businesses is selling cold drinking mineral water and juices to pass bus people, at sh20 per bottle, which at the end of the day i earn sh300 after sales.The businesses is still small having a capital of sh1000 which enables me to buy 4 percels two water and two juice,some cold blocks to make them cold,every percel cost sh 200,after complete sell i remain with sh 300 as profit, this businesses is good mostly on hot season which makes it hard at wet season, if i get more funding ill start another alternative businesses in low season.

Loan Proposal

During this season we are experiencing very high temperatures,the sun is heating so hard,there is high demand of drinking water,from the funds id like to add one dozen of soft drink eg, soda and increase my water stoke to cater for high demand in this season,not forgetting the profit from the business i use to touch peoples lives mostly widows from my church congregation,although my plans on the future is raise funds and help them to own their business.

    Dear Lenders,
    I managed to speak to Meshack. He told me that being a Pastor, he has an obligation to take care of some of the church members. This really affected his business. Things are somehow better now and he promised to be paying his loan till he completes. I'll keep in touch with him more often. Thanks
    Jones,

    fist and foremost im happy for everything zidisha is doing to improve peoples lives including me; I've been blessed as a man of God and a business person.The reason to write this is to inform my lenders that the reason behind my late payment is that ;im a Pastor in charge of a local church which i also take care three widows the profit from the water business is used in supporting the widows for these three weeks i had to use extra money for treatment of one of them shes HIV positive thats the reason of my late payment.
