About Me

My name is khamisi kaisha i come from a family which consist of many sublings. am the second last born in my mothers womb. i didint go farther with my studies because there were no funds to uplift my education to the secondary level. I decided to make some small businesses to have something that will bust my style of living. Am now working on my own quarry whereby i produce the hand cut blocks. I lack of good capital but i belive i can do wonders if i can get a bust of 3500/-. Every day i got almost 300 blocks and i pay my workers 6/- in every block whereby i sell it 12/-. My capital is very low please help me to expand my business.

My Business

I decided to start the business of hand cut blocks because i have the experience of doing the job. I call it an advantage we have a quarry of these blocks. After a long time of hardship i decided to mix up myself with the hand cut blocks. thank God that i can get a profit of 400/- to 500/- per day after all the expenses i use a day. I can do wonders if i get a capital of 35000/- . This is the business that am doing although blocks mining is very hard but am happy that i meet the cure of the disease. My God bless you all zidisha lenders and all the organisation

Loan Proposal

Am greatful to all and the whole organisation to give me this chance to up lift myself. thank you once again. i have big quary that i will use the loan to make a good stock that it will bust me to meet my expectations. I have a dream of buying a motorbike by the fourth loan after am done with the third one. Im looking towards the organisation to do so thank you very much.

      Hello again Mr. Charo, thank-you for making your repayment on June 21, as promised, even though it is not the right season for your sales. I appreciate the effort that you make.

    This is beyond my expectations. indeed i wanted to reschedule my repayment schedule to a maxmum but this opposite. It is the raining season down town here the worst season in our quarry business it is the major reason why i decided to break my installments to 1000/- big sorry my lenders for the delay last weeks.

      Hello Mr. Charo - thank-you for your note about the trouble to your business caused by the rainy season. I think it may even be dangerous to work in a quarry during the rain - and it's important to try and be safe as possible. So, no problem from me because of the delay.
      I hope that you and your family are well.

    Mr. Charo,

    Thank you for being such a reliable and trustworthy borrower in the past. I am happy to contribute to your next loan.

    Could you tell me how many workers a day you expect to be able to hire with this new loan? How many blocks per day is each worker able to make on average and how many are you able to sell? I ask out of plain curiosity. It seems like a very hard job.

    Take care,
    Cris
