About Me

Born in 1970 in Kiambu county and then my parents transferred to Nakuru county where I started my primary education at Kandutura school which is in Rongai district. After doing my primary education I stayed at home helping my parents until I got the national Identification card which enables me to travel to Nairobi for finding job. In Nairobi I faced many challenges because I didn’t get my expectation. I was forced to work as casual laborer for so many years until when I decide to start a unique business of washing people’s clothes those who don’t have to do so.
I am married with 3 children A GIRL AND 2 BOYS

My Business

My business is washing clothes and in fact those who were laughing at me when I started the work, they have started asking how they can start because they have seen the business is paying.I manage in this business because of the trust I have build to my customers. It has no a lot of expenses apart from Water, Soap, Charcoal and sun which is free from God.

Loan Proposal

Thanks for replying my prayer ,i will buy one washing machine worth Ksh 60,000, the rest of the money i will employ three men to help me and look for a decent room for the job ,for i m working in the hidden site .

    Dear Lenders,

    my name is Roberta Zenere and I am a Kenya Country Liaison Intern at Zidisha. Within this role, I am coordinating the Zidisha's MPESA team, responsible for processing loan repayments and disbursements.

    Today, while reviewing our accounts, I noticed that a loan repayment of 4,000 KES (46.41 USD) sent by Mr Chege Nganga on June, 10 was not registered in his repayment schedule which has been updated accordingly.

    Mr Chege Nganga, we are sorry for this inconvenience and we wish you all the best with your business!

    Best regards,

    Roberta
    Zidisha Team
