About Me

Hi, I am Sammy Karugu, been in the online writing business for the past 9 years. I deal in web content writing which is a great job with regard to the job situation in my country. I graduated from Chuka University with a degree in B.A. Economics and Sociology.

Since I graduated, I have been involved in a couple of things with friends and different organizations. It is through these involvements that I have been able to earn skills in Air Conditioners' installations as well as structured cabling installations and laying of other IT related infrastructure.

My Business

Having learnt about the Air Conditioners installation, structured cabling & fiber installations, and having established a couple of networks, I am confident I will get business and will be the new norm for me. I will have a new way of complementing my online writing gig and get some more money to venture into new business or grow this new business.

Why my products move?

Since many business in the country are embracing technology, a local area network is mandatory which means they will need my structured cabling services or fiber installation. As we all know, internet is all you need to get the technology you need. With this in mind and having met and interacted with the right people and contractors, I will get a couple of sub-contracting businesses from time to time.

What I currently need is typically a tool box. I need 2 hand drills, a few spanners and drill bits. these will cost me about 60,000 Kenyan Shillings but with a loan from you guys and savings I believe I will be good to go.

With a job worth about 20,000 Kenyan Shillings, my expenses will be about 60% and the rest will be profit which I will use to repay my loan here and in the long run I will be able to re-invest in the business and buy more tools and built capacity to the level I will be able to cater to a whole contract worth hundreds of thousands if not millions.

Loan Proposal

I want to continue with my laptop skins, wall art and flash drives' project. I have a summer offer from my supplier that I need to make use of thus the need to have the loan funded as soon as possible. I have already had two loans with Zidisha and repaid them in full and in good time this is the reason I trust in all potential lenders that they will be in a position to fund me again and in full for this loan. Thank you all

    Thanks for the funds Harriet

    I will use the money to get more chicken and feeding equipment. Using my online skills I will create an Instagram page and create educational posts to help me gain a following and targetted audience.

    Thank you and I will keep you updated about the project

    This was a great run and was learning more about my medicine dispensing business. Right now things are getting better and working towards being self-sustaining catering for all its bills.

    I will be undertaking on exotic chicken farming and will be updating you on it.

    Hello

    I would like to notify everyone that I paid even though support was not able to trace my payment even after sharing my statement. At least the money is doing us good in the community :)

    The pharmacy business is doing good now, and for the area it is in, I will not be investing more in the business. I will let the current inventory circulate and will be bumping it up from my other business in structured cabling installation.

    In other news, the structured cabling business is doing fairly well and my partner has brought in a new project that might last two months. We wait for the contract signing and hope that the next loan will help get new tools to help with the project.

    I made a bulk payment form my bank account in December. I need to get a statement so I can share with support to have things sorted. When this is sorted I will have an overpayment. Thanks

    Hello Backers,

    I would like to thank you for the funding. I am doing my best to make the repayment. I landed into a problem financially as I needed to renew my business permits but I am on track again.

    Hello Everyone,

    It is a great opportunity to be on the platform and raise money for my pharmacy business. I was able to add on inventory which did well for the shop. We are now a trusted dispensing chemist in the area as we have a good inventory.

    In the next project, I will be raising money for more inventory as well as employ an attendant who will help when I am not around. This will help in having the place operating even when I am unavailable

    Hello everyone,

    The funds I raised last time were used to get new inventory for the chemist. I also got a stool and a seat. The new funding will be used for renovations and adding two to three shelves in the shop.

    Hey all; happy to let you know that I'm back in business and the first thing I was able to do was settle my loan and hope to get more funding. All is well now and I am ready to borrow again and continue growing through this wonderful platform. Thank you
