I am an entrepreneur , a nutritionist by training. I have worked variously formally and informally. I run a start up called Glofha general supplies and a women empowerment group called kaleluya women self help group. Besides this I run a business of money transfer and rental units which I have been slowly progressing thanks to Zidisha.
I come from a very humble back ground but discipline , hard work and honesty has really shaped my life and blessed my fortunes.
I run a dairy farm now with 2 Fresian cows which calved in Dec , I sell milk and use that for feed and save the rest. I equally farm maize and beans and other vegetables in a 2 acre piece of land .
I have rental units that give me a regular monthly income that support me and my family.
I am going to use the loan to buy materials for the extension of my building to enable me have more rooms for renting out to tenants. I have bought some materials but not enough: that is why I need more construction materials.
- Cement: 10 bags @ $65
- Barbed wire: 1 roll @ $40
- Sand: 14 tonnes @$150
This are the materials remaining to finish the construction. The rooms will each go for $40 a month, so I will be able to make $400 a month, which will help me to boost my other businesses and therefore support my family and my children's school fees.
