About Me

Am Mary Nanjala kimoi from siangalamwe village. My nearest market is called Bigtree market and I currently attend The Baptist church. I schooled at Kitale school in Kitale town. After marriage I moved to Ndalu market where my husband acquired a piece of land behind Ndalu dispensary. Since he is a preacher, we had to live in church premises but i also run business at Ndalu and also make sure the Ndalu residence is also maintained. My hobby since childhood is athletics and I will mentor my children to always have a hobby in life

My Business

I stay in church compound at Bigtree area but also make sure my business continues at my original residence at Ndalu market. I have planted and harvested maize which I sell as grains in sacks in my shop. I run a retail shop though my elder son is fully in charge. All I need in my business is to ensure the lorry delivers goods every Wednesday and the son runs the business. There's no transportation cost. I use profit to add more goods in business and save the rest in bank account. The goods are on high demand as they are needed daily

Loan Proposal

I do own my own retail shop at Ndalu market. In addition, i also harvest my maize and then sell them in same shop at either retail or wholesale prices.
I would like to weed my farm and later add fertilizers to ensure that the yield is sufficient and appealing. I need 70dollars for fertilizers, 40 dollars as labor and 10 dollars for any other arising expenditure.
Am appealing to you my lenders to fund my loan proposal so that i realize best profit, improve my business and then start repayments earlier next week and in good time

    I used my $200 to purchase fertilizer as I had planned during loan application.

    I also used same amount to weed my maize farm and pay my workers.

    My farm yields are high and maize quality is of high standard.

    My children are now schooling peacefully as they are never sent home due to lack of school fees.

    This loan has really improved my life in general. In fact I attribute my success to courtesy of Zidisha loans because it is because of Zidisha that my home was fully renovated and my business also being boosted.

    I like Zidisha team!

    I would like to reduce my weekly instalment amount to the minimum so that I avoid missing any repayment to sustain trust in my lenders. kindly bear with me but I will later on adjust to normal. Thank you
