About Me

I grew in small village called mahiga . I schooled there up to class eight and due to luck of fund I did not get further education . I left home so that I could look for a living to leave space for the other siblings and to look for money to assist my parents to educate the others. I got daily wages from big farm owners and for about three years i saved and managed to buy a bicycle. I started selling local vegetables from house to house with the bicycle. Due to dry seasons the vegetables were not available so i started cooking half cakes (kangumus). With kangumu i managed to save selling second hand clothes and shoes and save yet more to open a retail shop then due to competition i left shopkeeping to bakery up to date.with bakery through zidisha lender i have a house for my family .anyway am married and have seven children now five of them are at school .i like reading the bible with them when e are free. i like it so much. a part from my children i have three of my sister who was left by her husband. and we are doing good.

My Business

I bake cakes, teascorns breads and buns.I also deepfly dognuts.I prepare drinks like tea and coffe and other drink eg joise and sodas and sell it in my kiosk.The nearest area where you can find a producd of the same is ten km ,thus making my product of demand within my locality.I trust and believe people must eat to live. So decided to bring a unique product.I usually make 1500 to1700 kes dairy and save a third of my dairy profit.I use my profit in food suplement ,pay school for children and buy small sheep and goat and rear them to sell when they are big enough.I use to sell at good price.I am also used to give2000 to 3000kes to my old parents to cater for household.

    Hello members, as I had said earlier, due to hard time am going through, and my will to share the little I earn, it's hard to commit myself to the least amount listed in the list, I wish you put it to at least 2$ (200 kshs) hoping to hear soon from you. Nice times.

    Taking care of my seven children, and three of my sister, in a Lock down period, and no business at place is for real not a joke. Sometimes i felt like am not existing. Thanks that I still have hope and all the children are doing well and very understanding. They also give me courage, that we shall make it. Thanks you all members.

    I am in a hardship, struggling to earn at least daily bread for me an d my family. This is after the falling of my business due to the corona pandemic. Since no other option to chose in the payment due, I just chose the least, but what is affordable as for now. And honestly I would not like to be a defaulter. Please bare with me.

    Hi my lenders, since I knew you, life has being so good, until the arrival of covid 19.which has turned my existence to hell. My businesses was done away , with my kids to look after starting up the business has become a big task to start. Only God knows what next , giving my family first priority, my mind is over working. Keeping in mind I don't want to frustrate you. Please pray for me. And for you , be blessed.

    Hallo my lenders, hope you are all doing good. It's my pressure to humble you for the far we've come. You've being so supportive in my life. Despite the covid 19 strike, which ruined my business almost to zero, am still doing to my level best to bring back the prosperity you had made it's foundation. I wish you had a way to help me raise again, and stand with my feet, by lending as little as thirty thousands kshs., ( 300 dollars) . am feeling left behind, and in the state am in, I will take long to catch up. While on the hand I would not like to fail you. Hope you respond to my request. I thank His Almighty as He has provided me with enough to feed my family, by blessing harvest, as you can see in the photo below. Thanks and cheers.
