About Me

Hello , My name is Collins Mutinda Muli from Kenya, am 33 years old . I've been brought up in different towns in my country because my dad used to work in Kenya Railways and transfers were rampant.
I've come from a humble background where my mum used to sell vegetables because my dad was a drunkard and all the money he got used to go to the bar.
I've grown loving business and I always wondered how will I start my business ? where will I get the money to start my business? Besides , am also a musician over here and I always thought I would get money from music and eventually start my business , while music its self is a business , that already tell you that its so hard to crack the music business here .

My Business

I always had a passion for music ever since i was young and in the year 2013 i finally decided to start my music career, it wasn't a bed of roses and so i could not pay for my bills and decided to double deal with the other side of production which is video production. I put my career on hold and decided to be employed by a big production company in the country and worked there for around 4 years .I later quit after gaining experience and decided to start my own production company in the year 2019 and currently trying to buy some of the equipment slowly by slowly .
I chose this business because i always had a passion in arts and i was confident that it will be easier working. 2020 was a difficult year and the world needed to adopt to new ways of living causing the digital space to expand , i shot a lot of YouTube content that were eventually uploaded but with out my own equipment and cameras .
I currently focus in shooting music videos , mini documentaries , vlogs, and commercials which pay well approximately ksh20,000 - ksh 50,000.
climbing up the ladder in terms of Zidisha loan will help me get better equipments to expand my little growing company.

    hello? my name is Collins but Zidisha saved my name with a typo so it appears as Vollins , am so glad that you my Leander was able to make this possible . with my second hand business I was able to buy the set of chairs and sold it a good price and was even able to pay back my loan on time .
    Am still planning to go get some Refridgirator that I was and am sure I'll still make good money out of it and better my life .
    Am here to thank you so much hoping you will still be part of my journey .
    yours truly. Collins

      Lenders cannot assist with anything administrative. Like borrowers, we merely create an account on the platform (in our case, to upload funds to help borrowers, which the Zidisha Team Staff then manages; currently the Zidisha Team Staff consists of just two (2) people: www.zidisha.org/team - to contact them privately, send a message through the HELP link in your account). The Zidisha Team Staff is the intermediary between the borrowers and the lenders, and only they can help you with anything administrative.
