About Me

I am Brender Achieng Okoth. am 19 years of age. am a native of Mbita town, Homa bay county in Kenya. I finished my O level last year and ventured into grocery businesses to help me save money to finance my part time university studies and support my younger siblings(they are 3) since I am a total orphan. I struggled through high school but managed to complete due to help from local bursary office.

My Business

I buy grocery and vegetables from Kisii and sell them in Mbita town at a profit. I'm planning to expand my business with the help of Zidisha family to include banking agency business.

Loan Proposal

I will purchase an umbrella to serve as ashield to my perishable stock since I sell my goods in an open air market. this loan will help me solve the problem of shelter hence higher profits for my business.

    Hello my dear lenders. I had a motorcycle accident and have been admitted in hospital for a week. Am out today and will start remitting my repayments today. Am sorry for the 1 day delay

      I'm sorry to hear about the accident, but am happy to hear you're already home from the hospital. Please don't worry about a one-day delay. At Zidisha, the definition of "on time" is paying exactly on the due date or anytime within the ten-day grace period after the due date. So, if you make payment today, you still are paying on time. Don't worry. :)

      Best wishes after that accident for a full recovery very soon!

    I am humbled by your kindness. I want to wish you all my lenders happy moments and prosperous future. I has been fun and growth since I started using Zidisha. I will use the entire loan amount to pay school fees for my siblings.
    How I wish that one day my lenders visit me to witness my business growth for themselves and to enjoy the beautiful life over here :-). May God bless you all

    Thanks once again to all my lenders. I am impressed with how Zidisha works swiftly. you have opened doors for entrepreneurs in developing countries and I am one of them. I am in the process of constructing a store for my goods using iron sheets from my loan that I have applied. After repaying, my next loan will serve as a starting capital for mobile banking agency business(mpesa). I will continue inviting credit-worthy friends to join and fulfill their business ambitions with Zidisha

    Thank you all my lenders for your support. I used my previous loan as part of my working capital. even though my loan limit is still low because I am new here, I am hopeful that I will work hard to see my limit grow to help me expand my business. I also dream of becoming a lender one day.
