About Me

I, Mary Wanjiku Ng'ang'a, was born in the year 1978 in Nakuru, Kenya in a family of ten children. I come from a poor family. I have a husband and two kids (a first born girl who is seven years and a boy 2 years and 9 months). I have been running a small business in Njoro near Egerton University. I have been in business almost ten years but facing many challenges due to lack of capital. I am unable to improve it because there are many people who are depending on me. I aspire to help them. A customer who is also a friend came to me and informed me about Zidisha. I was very happy and knew my dying dreams were going to be revived and I am going to fulfill them. I love people, I love children and I would like to help the following people:
1. Old people who are asthmatics,
2. Widows suffering when raising their children,
3. Orphans, especially providing school fees, clothing, food, and medical services.
I would like to help all people in general and boost my business.

My Business

My business is selling clothes. It is at Egerton University Main gate (main campus, Njoro). My approximate total income a month is KES 6000. Therefore, if funded, my income will increase by KES 2000 because business is good when the University is in session. I have personal challenges; my distant cousin depends on me for their upkeep and occasional school fees. If funded, besides helping my family, extended family members will also benefit. In African setting, we normal take care of members of extended families. My other use of my profit will be persons who are asthmatic, widows, and orphans, among others.

Loan Proposal

I will improve my stock of clothes. The demand is high when Egerton University is in session. Young ladies prefer latest fashions of clothes. Those are my main customers. If funded this first loan my stock improve and can make a profit of $10 in a week. My profit will be used to help old and orphan children within the community.

    Mary’s mentor was told by her to leave her alone, she clearly has no intention of repaying her loan, it has been over a year since any payment was made.

    Hello lenders.
    I have been contacting mary and trying to get her back to her scheduled repayments by requesting her to reschedule or allow me reschedule her repayments. But in vein he asked me to stop calling her that she doesn't need anybody's help cause he has been told with the person who helps her with making the repayment i may be afraudster wanting to receive her next loans thats why am pushing her to make the repayments.
    Of which i am only trying to get her back to zidisha repayments nothing else. Am sorry i cant help her any further as she stopped me from contacting her.
