About Me

My name is Richard Momanyi. I was born in Kisii county which is in the western part of Kenya. The main occupation there is farming and my parents are small scale farmers. I grew up helping them in the farm and we also used to keep some domestic animals like cows and goats.

I am married and looking forward to starting a family with of two children.

My Business

I do business in the coastal town of Mombasa city where I sell household items in a small shop. I sell items such as cooking oil, maize and wheat flour, sugar etc. I serve people who live in my neighborhood.

I make around $100 per month but I am hoping to increase this amount as I keep expanding the business. This amount will inch upwards due to continued support I am getting from Zidisha.

Loan Proposal

I will use this loan to buy 10 kilograms of sugar and then sell at my shop. I hope to make a good profit which will help me in my day to day activities.

Thank you.

    I am unable to raise more than this amount for now due to low business sales. I hope to change this as soon as the situation changes.

    Thank you very much for the funding. I'll use the money to increase the much needed stock. This will in turn increase my daily sales.

    I can only afford to pay this figure for now. I hope to increase it to a higher amount soon once the business improves.
