About Me

I'm a single lady with seven daughters all are schooling.Currently dwells at Mtomondoni in Mtwapa Kilifi county and my business is livestock keeping for commercial purpose.I'm a class five drop-out,could not go beyond that because of poverty in our family.I started this business basically to earn a living and to improve my family especially in education.I do purchase the following items with the earnings of my business:vaccines,water,medicine,water-canes,milk,salt ,grass etc Also buy food for my family,transport,pay for school fees etc.It is my hope that if I'm loaned I will expand my business and even open my own butcheries instead of selling my goats to butcher men I slaughter my goats myself.

My Business

My business is keeping living-stock for sell.This involves the buying rearing and selling of livestock for for commercial purposes.Reason as to why there is demand is that goats gives us good meet which gives us proteins which rebuild our body.My customers prefer to my business in that I treat my and sell them health goats and the supply is ready ever.the business is profitable because goats bought from a farmer at ksh:1000/= if well treated and gained weight can be sold at ksh:4000/=of which if are of good number,gives a big profit,and the risks that face my business are transport and equipments to instance treat the livestock.My monthly income is ksh:38000/= and monthly expenditure is ksh 22000/= and my profit is ksh:16000/= of which I can repay any loan zidisha may give me.

Loan Proposal

The loan will help me expand my business by increasing the number of livestock in my farm.On top this,will buy the vaccines and pesticides for healthy growth.I will make sure that the livestock are not affected anyhow by regular check-ups so that I don't lower the quality of meet during selling as the quality of the meet the higher the prices of the meet per kilogram.

    Hallo! Zidisha team, I'm sorry for not having communicated concerning my loan balance due. Reason for default is that I allover suddenly fell sick, first started by swelling of my stomach. The sickness lasted for about one and a half years before I got healed. My business has gone down due to medication costs and the current on-going famine and drought season in our region has paralyzed my livestock business. Advise me.

    Dear Lenders,

    Due to a data entry error, a payment from Tabu on November 21st was entered multiple times erroneously. Once this error is fixed in our system, the funds in your lender accounts will decrease accordingly. We apologize for this error and any inconvenience it causes you!

    Thank you,
    Bayle, Country Liaison Manager

    Hi Tabu,
    Glad to hear that your business is doing well. If the repayments are too high at this point, perhaps you could reschedule them so that you still have enough to support your family while building your business and repaying your loan.
