About Me

Hey,Hope this finds you well.My names are Faith Kerubo Maseru.I live at Kibera with my parents and my 4yr old daughter who is such a delight.Ihave a diploma in Cooperative Banking and i am currently pursuing my degree in Business Administration and Management.i am passionate about Design and Leadership.i believe homes and wherever we spend time at should be beautiful and that is why i started Lushomo Designs where i design and make my own mats,all types of mats from floor mats to toilet mats to bedroom mats.i stitch the mats myself,one thread after the other making them unique and able to be customized to fit each individuals desire.

My Business

My business is Lushomo Design where i design and make mats.i stich them myself making the unique.My products are marketable since they are unique and can be customized to fit the client need or the theme color of their homes or Not only are they beautiful but they are affordable. One mat, depending companies. on the size can cost from Ksh 500 – 2000 to make and in a month I can make profit of from around Ksh.4000 – 5000.i can make more of this but the capital is a bit limiting. One of the challenges is that due to capital I end up loosing big orders from interior décor firms since they require quantity. I know my business will grow because it has potential and I am hardworking.

Loan Proposal

Thank you so much zidisha for allowing me opportunity to access funds from your institution.i will use the loan to buy raw materials for making the mats e.g threads,base-mats.
Part of it also will be use to manage other preparation materials necessary to operate my new business.i will also be able to advertise my new products to a wider market.that money will be able to help me cater for any big orders that i might get.
Thank you and God bless you!

    Faith,

    Please keep in mind that this is your borrower-lender Discussion page, which *isn't* for trying to reach the Staff because they almost never visit borrowers' pages.

    This page is mainly for discussing your projects and your life in general with your lenders (and theirs, too, if they wish to share). It also is for letting your lenders know about any rescheduling of your repayments that you might ever do. And it's additionally a place for VMs to post messages for you and/or for your lenders. But it isn't intended as a place for trying to reach the Staff.

    To try to reach the Staff, a/k/a Team,
    whom you can see here: www.zidisha.org/team,
    please always click on the HELP link in your account.
    Thank you.

      I have tried that option but there is nowhere to post my issues. They have a list of possible issues and mine doesn't fall on any so am stuck.

        If there's a text-box available at any of those subject options for you to send a private message to the Staff, then go ahead and do that, even if the subject option doesn't match what you need to write about.

        If there isn't any option currently available with a text-box for sending a private message, then post your issue in the "Borrower Questions" section of the Forum (without posting any sensitive information, such as National Id. Number or anything like that, of course), because the Director *does* see the messages posted there every day.

      Those are automated emails that go out according to algorithms programmed into the system by the Staff, a/k/a Team: www.zidisha.org/team. You can try to reach them by clicking on the HELP link in your account. You will need to be patient for a reply, because there currently are only two (2) people on the Staff, while there are more than 355,000 Zidisha members (borrowers and lenders), each of whom also has a HELP link in their account for contacting the Staff, too.

      Faith, the Founder & Director is Julia Kurnia; it is she who is in charge.
      You can try to reach her through the HELP link in your account.

      It sounds to me like technical issues are affecting your account, which unfortunately is a common problem on the platform. Julia also is in charge of repairing technical bugs or delegating to another programmer to repair them when she is busy with other tasks. You can let her know about the problems with your account by using the HELP link in your account.

      I hope the issues with your account will be resolved for you soon.

          You're welcome, Faith.

          You can report technical issues in the "Borrower Questions" section of the Forum. They often don't have time to answer there, but they *do* see the messages, so after you post, keep checking your account to see when the issue gets resolved. If it doesn't after a reasonable amount of time (minimum of three business days to about a week or two), then pull up the same Forum thread where you posted originally, and post a new message reminding them that you need them to look into your issue for you.

          Good luck, and best wishes!

    Hope you are well.i know it has been a while since i communicated and i apologize for that. Business has not been doing so well,i don't make as much mats since the demand is a bit low but i am trying to gather myself.Between school fees for both my daughter and myself it is a bit challenging but i am working hard to repay the installment since i have faith.Be blessed and thank you for the continued effort.

    I know I am only a small part of your loan but I am not bothered at all you need to be late. Thanks for keeping us posted as I always am concerned about the person when there is silence and no repayment. Best of luck to you and I hope things become easier soon.
