About Me

I am George 38yrs I started school in 1987 and dropped out deu to lack of school fees. This made me very determined in making my future bright . So I connected with my cousin in Eldoret who accomodited me for three months . Within those three months he would give me 50/ ksh for food which I budgeted and savad some in order to start a business. I started a business with 600/ksh which was hawking biskuit .The business was doing good until the time I was employed by Raiply wood and I worked for three years we were dismissed due to lack of material. After that I hired a bicycle which I used as BODA boda . I felt the job was tiresome so I started to think how to overcome I introduced a merry go round so that I may raise capital for driving school , and when the amount was enough I enrolled for driving .Since then I work as driver.

    Hi George, As a lender I look at the profiles first to see what the loan will be used for and the repayment rate second. I usually will not lend to borrowers who have a repayment rate less than 85%. I allow 15% for poor business sales at times, and technological glitches. I suggest you repay your next loan on time, every payment, to get your repayment rate up, if you wish to be a successful Zidisha participant. Regards, Mary
