About Me

My name is Beth Wanjiku Njau and a resident of Nakuru town. my home is located in Pangani estate just two kilometers from the town.am a window with three children who are in secondary school.l dropped out of school after completing my primary education due to lack of school fees and there after l was employed by my uncle as a waitress in his hotel.After working for three years in the hotel industry my friend introduced me to the (mitumba) business of selling second hand clothes and my business is located in bargain market of Nakuru town.l use my income to support my children by providing for them the basic needs such as paying school fees.and also save part of income so as to meet the needs of my children and develop myself economically.

My Business

l have been in (mitumba) second hand business for the last twenty years.my business is located in bargain market of Nakuru town.the business is good and very profitable as long as you are able to meet the customers taste.l normally sell newborns clothes as the demand for these clothes is not influenced by factors such as weather or seasons.l manage to sell a bale every week at a profit of ks 8,000.this is because the children wear are not expensive.though there is a lot of competition from boutique shop l make sure that the clothes are of good quality and the p[rices are affordable to my customers.if advanced with the loan l will be able to add more stock to the business.

Loan Proposal

dear lenders, its my pleasure that you are well doing. it so grate to me to have this worderful chance yet to apply another loan.the first loan had a very big impact in my business, but since i had some problem of loosing my last born son, things was not all that well. but i made it in Jesus name. with this second loan, i have decided to venture in dairy farming project, which is doing so well in this area.last year, i had bought a local cow, which usually produces 5 to 7 little of milk.am planning to get a loan from zidisha, and then i will be able to buy a good and productive dairy cow. my expectation is 20 to 30 little of milk.we usually sell the milk to a very growing company known as brookside company.my little kids will benefit from drinking direct milk from the cow. before the processing takes place.this will be an added advantage to my family.i hope this will boost my business.my second hands cloths is also doing well. thanks so much as you helps me in completion of my bids. thanks
