Gerald Kilonzo Nzioka

Gerald Kilonzo Nzioka is 36 years old. He is married and has one child who is in primary school. His wife is a primary school teacher and assists in the provision of basic family needs. Gerald's wife lives with her son in Machakos while Gerald lives in Nakuru, where he operates his business. Gerald started this business immediately after he finished his high school education and has been in the business for many years. He has familiarized himself well with the business. The business has been profitable and he has been able to cater to his family's needs.

He sells potatoes in Nakuru market. He purchases the potatoes from farms thus incurring high transport costs especially during the rainy season. He is therefore requesting a loan of US$800 which he intends to spend as follows:

US$600 to buy more sacks of potatoes, US$ 100 to cater for transport expenses and US$100 to pay the municipal council fee.

Gerald is a determined man and he will be able to repay the loan.

Disclaimer: Due to recent events in Kenya, the security situation in many communities remains unsettled, affecting many local businesses. Lenders to this entrepreneur should be aware that this loan may represent a higher default risk, and should be willing to accept this additional risk in making their loan.
