I am Cecilia Wanjiku Mwaisaka, 46 years old, I was born and brought up in Murang'a county. I am the second born in a family of 8 children. I attended Rukira Primary school where i sat for my C.P.E and then proceeded to Gatanga Girls' sec school for my O' levels. I later joined Murang'a College of Science and Technology for two years. I came to Mombasa in 1993 and worked at Severin Sea Lodge for 9 year.
I got married in 1995, am proud mother of four, two boys and two girls.
I got widowed two and a half years ago. I live in Mombasa, Kisauni. I am a born again christian serving as a senior usher at Redeemed Gospel Church, Concordia.
After the death of my husband, l decided to have a business along side other part time jobs to enable me raise the kids.
I decided to go in to second hand clothes, I sell bed sheets, curtains, mattress covers, door mats, pillow cases, duvets etc
One bail of bed sheets for example costs me Kshs 20,000/- and gives me a profit of Kshs 10,000/-
I use the profits in various ways such as school fees, clothing, food expansion of the business, and any other issues that may arise.
I would like to buy a bail of bed sheets to increase my stock with the loan. This will cost me around 200 dollars though l have to chip in some more money to be enough.
With this , I will be expecting my profit to increase to around kshs 20,000/-. This will help me in the upkeep of the children,
