After completing my high school, getting a wll aying job opportunity proved such a hustle. In 2012, I became interested in transport industry where I caught up with an old motorbike. Last year I thought of making savings till I obtain one of my own.
This is when I came across Zidisha through a friend in Mazeras town.
I have always wanted to be self reliant despite my life circumstances. With affordable loans my life will improve considerably and my community will benefit from my affordable rides to shopping centre and back home.
I run a motorbike taxi business. I operate in Mazeras area of Kilifi county. Most of my clients are market people who need supplies from wholesalers. school children are also my daily. I am contracted to take children to school and back. Occasionally, I get to ferry customers in far places in ase of traffic jams between Mariakani and Mombasa city. I enjoy my work because I get to meet many people in a day and help make other peoples lives better while making a living for myself. I too enjoy seeing different areas of Mazeras as I take my customers to their homes, work places and places of worship.
Maybe I am enjoying this work too much despite the daily risk of being on the busy roads everyday.
I am expecting to use the loan on servicing my motorbike. This will include purchase of new tubes and tires. I want my bike to be ready for the August boom when school close here and parents have more free time to do errands in meeting family friends. i need to be ready to benefit from this season. Thanks for your support.
