About Me

I am Calistas Okatch a CEO and the founder of Strivers e&e Ventures that deals with Entrepreneurship & Environmental Skills . I am a first born in a family of four. I am a bachelor degree holder in business management.
Its been all about hard work and determination baring in mind of being self reliance. After acquiring knowledge in business management I started some little savings towards starting my business. With the broad ideas I have in business I am working too much on quality compared to my competitors and this has given me a unique advantage over other related service providers.
My children want to be more successful than the father.
Sharing successful ideas with friends and reading related sources of information are my hobby.

My Business

I offer Business & Environmental Skills.Other service providers lacked adequate knowledge on how to provide better or high quality services as was expected by the customers hence creating to me advantage and demand. After deduction of all costs and other expenses I can realize a net profit of KES. 10,000.
Half of this profit I reinvest back to the business and the rest I do use to support part of the family members as part of social responsibility.

Loan Proposal

I will use the loan to increase the stock for printing papers. It will help me increase the stock and prevent shortage to my customers. This will increase my net monthly profit by KES 2000.

    I lost my phone line but so far I have been able to renew it with the service providers and feel more comfortable clearing the balance if not at once then at least in the next 4 installments

      While it's admirable that you would like to pay early,
      please keep in mind that doing so is not advantageous
      for your on-time repayment percentage. The only
      payments which are used for that calculation are
      on-time payments and late payments. Unfortunately,
      early payments don't get considered at all, for that score.

      An "on-time" payment at Zidisha is defined as
      one paid exactly on the due date or within the
      ten-day grace period after the due date.

      Please read the FAQ page:
      www.zidisha.org/faq#borrowi...
      "How is my on-time repayment score calculated?"
      "Your on-time repayment score is the percentage
      of all weekly installments that have fallen due for
      all loans you have taken with Zidisha, which you
      paid on time. NOTE THAT PAYMENTS ARE ONLY
      COUNTED ONCE THEIR DUE DATE HAS PASSED."
      [emphasis added]

    The loan I had completed was of great assistance because I managed to add an extra stock of printing papers almost twice my prior projection since I made fast purchase and with the steady market I had I managed to invest back both the capital and the profit I had realized to buy more papers within the repayment period I was offered..........I hope subsequent funding will do the same......thank.
