About Me

I reside in kahawa wendani which is 16 Kilometer from the capital city of Nairobi. I am happily married and blessed with 2 children who are both in primary school in a local community school. I have successfully completed diploma in catering and pastry. I have established a business which involves catering services and also offering training to women who are interested in utilizing the skill to earn a living. During my free time, I like taking my family out to for biking and swimming and also I like dancing and listening to music.

My Business

I have successfully completed diploma in catering and pastry whereby I have utilised the skill to establish business which involves offering outside catering in offices and during events such as wedding, parties and retreats and also I offering training to women who are interested in learning the skills so that they can utilize to generate income or provide good meals to their families. Profit from my business is partly used to offset partly family expenses while the rest is used for expanding my business.

Loan Proposal

I wish to buy a big fridge that will accommodate my stock of foods and preservatives in my business since the business has grown and now I have big orders so am mostly challenged in preserving my stock,the fridge sells for ksh60,000 so I plan to get the ksh40,000 from Zidisha and add to my savings and buy the fridge from Nakumatt Holdings.if I get the Fridge I will secure all the tenders that I get not having to give some away since I cant manage to accommodate the large stocks of foods and that will mean more money for my business so re-paying wont be a problem since the business will be better and I will have more profit enabling me to save more and pay my second loan better.Thank you all.

      Hello Bilha, what exactly is preventing Mary from posting herself? No matter the struggles she encountered, she would post messages about her business and health. What has changed with her situation? I am concerned about her as well as her sister Yvonne who also has stopped posting.

    • Mary    Aug 31, 2016

      Hi Karin,sorry for the delay in repayment I had some extra budget that kind of exhausted my funds since my little brother had a deadline to beat on his third year registration at Jaramogy Odinga University and I kind of got carried away and neglected my weekly loan repayment but now I managed to settle the issue and now I can come back and concentrate on my loan sorry for the inconvenience.

    Thank you djkmoran for the concerned but I have worked with a similar institution before and there were no disappointment since it's a contract that has been signed and witnessed.

  • Mary    May 31, 2016

    Hello lenders I would like to reduce my weekly repayment to a lower rate since I won a lunch delivery tender at a local institution that goes for three months and that is when the client will pay the full payment so for now am on a very tight budget thanks in advance.

      Hello Mary, I hope you are doing well since your arm surgery. Is it common for such businesses to withhold payment for such a long time? Seems rather risky.
