About Me

Am Daniel Kiragu Thomas,a youth from Kenya. I was brought up by a single parent who was a responsible and took me to school. Being a last born child my life wasn't so easy simply because my mom didn't have permanent source of Income. Her business was affected by political instability in our Nation.

My Business

Through my parent footsteps I was engaged in my mother's business whereby I inherited it from her.
My business involves Mpesa services,selling of food stuffs and taxi services.
Through Zidisha loan I bought a small van called Tuktuk which I use for taxi services and also for delivering stock for my business.
Mpesa services is the transfer of money from one person to another as well paying for bills and services. Through it am able to transact more customers and I get commission from my service provider.
Its on this point I wish to apply for the loan from Zidisha cause u require adequate cash to transact Mpesa services and get more customers as well commission.

Loan Proposal

Lenders,I wish to use my loan on buying a small car normally known as Tuktuk. Once I get that money I shall added with my saving I buy it.

The car, Tuktuk, I shall use it for transporting my shop items from the market to the shop. This will cut my cost on transport.

Secondly, when I don't use it for my business u shall put it on hire which I shall be able to get Ksh.1000/day hence it shall generate more income.

Thirdly, by buying it shall save me more time since it shall be faster to rush to the market and coming back.

    I wish to thank you all of my lenders since the loan I got I invested in buy a Tuktuk. This has easy transport ion to my business as well used as taxi.

    Through it am able to save an average of Ksh. 6000 per week and invest it in buying a piece of land for my family which my family is happy about it.

    The society is also happy with the investment since the taxi service is reliable.

    Hi Daniel, I´ve been absent from Zidisha for a time now, but your posts indeed let me have a closer look at your profile and business. I guess you are really doing it all right with your business and such wise investment decisions (MPESA, own Taxi, Shop for fundamental needings) under the given market situation in Kenya. Also, your fair installment quote/amount is a sign of strong calculation and your business orientated mindset! Kudos! :) ... Best regards, JK

    Hey leaders hope you are fine and well. Am glad for the loan that you lend to me. I received ksh.41800.

    The purpose of me applying for the loan was to buy a small car known as Tuktuk in my native language. This is 3wheel van that is cheaper to acquire, less maintance cost and fuel consumption.

    This van shall be of great important to me and the Society since I shall use it for transporting items from the market to the shop and vise vice.

    I will also employ a driver who will be driving it when am not using it since it shall be operating as a taxi.

    Team Zidisha am so glad with you all.May the Almighty God bless u all.

    Asanteni.
