About Me

My name is Wilfred Njiri, married and with 2 children. Am a Kenyan citizen born in central Kenya in kiambu county where I grew up and lived until I completed my high school. I later moved to the City of Nairobi for my college education. After I lost my job in 2010, I started a small business from my savings .I live in Kitengela, an area that is cosmopolitan where i interact with people from different cultures and backgrounds. The national park is near and at times we happen to see the straying wildlife . My two children a Girl and a Boy gives me challenge to work hard for their good performance in school , one aspire to be a banker the other one engineer, I have love for nature and love planting trees and flowers, I also love reading science news!

My Business

My business is small where i buy and sell mobile phones and accessories. Here in kenya, mobile phones have become extremly necessary because you use your mobile phone to access all banking services, from paying school fees to utility bills to communication and the entire country is connected so the demad is high, from $10 you can afford to buy a hand set and sell it for $14 - $16, so you almost make 50% profit, I wish to continue expanding the business with the lending i get, my profit usually goes to paying school fees, family and business upkeep, my desire is to grow my small business to become big enough to create employment to other people or even become a lender. I wish to thank all the lenders who would wish to fund me and other applicants, you are doing a noble task!

Loan Proposal

Hello dear lenders, I am forever grateful for what you are doing, helping humanity better their lives.I appreciate your continued suppport in the previous loans. I request a loan that will help me purchase a Water storage Tank that will help in harvesting rain water for domestic use at my home and the rest of the funds balance will go to my sons School fees. The Water tank of 5,000 litres will cost $500 and the rest of $377 .21 will go to School fees for next term. $300 will go to tuition fees and $77.21 will buy school text books and accessories. I want to thank you in advance as I await your highly valued funds. May God bless you richly.

    Hi Wilfred :-)

    Would you mind helping Douglas (one of the people you're mentoring) with his loan proposal please :-) He could do with a hand... It looks like he just copied & pasted something as the amounts are all blank.

    Thanks in advance, Emma.
