About Me

History
About Me
My name is Mrs. Mary Teresah Mzae. I am married to Mr. Elijah Mzae Mwaita and we
are blessed with two daughters and two grand-daughters. We reside in Wundanyi Town
in the coastal part of Kenya. After working as an Executive Assistant in Uap Insurance
Co. Ltd, for 15 years, I took early retirement to join my husband in Ministry at
Wundanyi as a Pastor. I have served together with my husband for over 10 years as a
trainee pastor and leader of the women.

I felt the need to join a college where I would be trained in ministry work so that I can do
it professionally. By God’s grace I was admitted for a diploma course in Christian
Ministry at Scott Christian University based in Machakos which I completed in
November, 2016.

My Business

I am now pursuing a degree course in the same which is costing 4,500 dollars. In my
pursuit of finding how I can raise this money, My sister Ruth Musela introduced
me to Zidisha and after I heard everything about this group, I felt you are the right
people to assist me with a loan to facilitate my studies.

Being a pastor’s wife, I am a leader of over 150 women with different ages, status and
careers. The course I am doing includes Community Development and Child Care. In
order to impact these women, I need to be fully equipped professionally.

Loan Proposal

I would like to request for a loan to boost stock in my business of selling perfumes of USDollars0.25

At the present time I can not be able to pay more than 2000/- and I would not like to commit myself to promise what I cannot afford.

As explained earlier, I lost my eldest daughter on 25th January 2019 after a very short illness. The surrounding circumstances put me in a financial predicament that I had not anticipated. I am requesting that I pay shs. 1000/= per week which actually sums up to shs. 4000/= per month which is the only amount am able to squeeze myself to pay. Please allow me to let you know when I an able to increase. Thank you for your understanding, it is not easy for me as I am in the emotional healing process.

I had a financial crisis when my daughter fell ill on medications until she passed away. Then expenses for her burial and other payments. I have indicated the next five instalments but I would request you to allow me to pay 2000/= for a longer period until am financially stable. I cannot attain that in the two weeks you are giving me. Thank you for your understanding.

Dear lenders,
Greetings from me with good wishes for the New Year.

I am writing to thank you for you long standing support by funding my loans. My life and that of my community have improved thanks to Zidisha family. With my last loan I was able to finish the repairs to my little house and start the project of making breaks to put up affordable rental houses to meet the housing needs of my community. Once again thank you for your support and God bless you.
