Loan Proposal

My favorite diet is spaghetti. i have been buying them from supermarkets in Nairobi and I have never met one single brand that is made in Kenya. They are only imported from countries like Egypt, Italy, Israel, Iran among others. This is the case despite wheat farmed in my rural area going to waste during harvesting season due to low market. Farmers remain stranded with their produce and end up loosing a lot of it as they lack storage facilities and they have no market for the wheat. This has bothered me for two years now. I have done my calculations and realized that with a simple pasta maker, I can start making spaghetti and may be with time i will be able to absorb most if not all of the wheat that goes to waste This way i will not only help myself but will also create employment opportunity for others and also save these poor farmers fro those loses. a kilogram of wheat in my rural home costs about Ksh.40. the same kilo if converted to spaghetti will cost about Ksh.150 in supermarkets. converting it to spaghetti and transporting from my rural area to Nairobi will have a unit cost of averagely Ksh.30. Imagining that I will supply to these supermarkets at a price averaging ksh 120. i will be able to have a profit of Ksh.55 which I am confident will make a big difference in my life and others. The machine costs about $125 from my online survey. Since it is not available in my country, i wish to purchase it from Europe or USA. it will incur tax and transport cost that will push the price to about $250. I have $150 and am requesting a top up of $100. I promise to pay smoothly. I am also requesting that someone who can be able to purchase it and send it to me to connect with me via;
