About Me

I am Jostina, a mother of 2 young girls. I am married and living with my husband. I do business in my neighborhood where I sell car spare parts. My children are aged 4 and I year old and they have not yet decided what they aspire to be when they grow up.

I was born in central Kenya but later settled in Mombasa with my husband who does business in the same town.

My Business

I deal with sale of motor vehicle and motor bike spare parts. I normally sell them to mechanics and motor technicians who need to use them to repair the vehicles. The business is about 3 years old and it is showing a good future.

I am hoping to open more branches in future.

Loan Proposal

If funded, I will use the money to renovate my spare-parts shop. I will add more shelves which I will use to display the spare parts for easy viewing by the buyers. This undertaking will cost about USD 40. I will then use USD 40 to buy paint and pay a painter because the shop badly needs a new coat of paint.

This way, my premises will look neat and orderly and this will make doing business easier for me. All these will translate to more sales hence more profit will be realized.

    My business has gone down due to inaccessibility of my business premises following floods in the area. I will resume higher amounts soon when the condition improves. Thank you.

    Hi Jostina,

    How are you ?

    I am a regular lender on Zidisha and also a manufacturer of Motercycle spare parts (front fork tube to be more specific).

    I just wanted to ask you a few questions about the spare parts. Would you contact me on [email protected] if that is okay ?

    Thanks,
    Shalabh
