About Me

I am married with three kids, two of them are in school. I live in Kiptangwanyi shopping centre which is about 43km from Nakuru town. I live in plot number 53. I operate a timberyard at the shopping center.

My Business

I operate a timberyard at the shopping center. There is high demand for the products that I sell because most of them are used i building and construction as well as in furnitures. The main challenges that this business encounter are lack of capital to expand the business and poor means of transport.

Loan Proposal

Dear Lenders,
I would like to use my loan to buy a new electric planing machine. This would enable to sell to my customers timber that has already been planed. I would also like to add stock in my business by buying more timber to add in my timberyard.

    Dear Lenders,

    my name is Roberta Zenere and I am a Kenya Country Liaison Intern at Zidisha. Within this role, I am coordinating the Zidisha's MPESA team, responsible for processing loan repayments and disbursements.

    Today, while reviewing our accounts, I noticed that the repayment of 85.41 USD (7,200 KES) posted on October, 13 in the repayment schedule of Mr Mutunga was entered by mistake. This means that, upon removal of the transaction, the amount that had been credited to your lender account will be reversed and will reduce your available balances accordingly.

    We are sorry for this inconvenience. Please, let us know if you have any questions.

    Thanks for your patience!

    Best regards,

    Roberta
