About Me

I am 24 years old from Migori County in Western Kenya,I grew up in Radienya Village where I did my primary and Secondary education before moving to my Nairobi where I did a diploma in Catering,life at home was not that easy we faced a lot of challenges as a family,but what worked to our favor was that we were a hard working and united family.After my diploma course I was employed for a year and quite to start my own catering services,I registered El dona Caterers in 2013 and I have been working under the name.I live in a community with mixed culture because most of the Kenyan communities live here.I like singing gospel songs and watching football because I support Manchester United.

My Business

My businesses is under service industry,I cook local foods like Ugali (using maize flour),chapati (using wheat flour),meat,chicken,vegetables,tea,porridge.I serve individuals,civil society organization with workshops and in their offices,Co-operative Bank (Kayole Branch) employees and artisans working in the nearest businesses.Food is a basic need to human being and so its demand is ever present with ever increasing population.
I averagely spent $ 200 on food purchase daily and after selling my daily average income is $ 260 of which $ 20 I use to pay my workers to mean I make a profit of $ 40 daily.I use the profit to add more stock for my business and support my family as well.

Loan Proposal

I will use the money to buy 2 big 3 in one food warmers to supply hot food during outside catering services since the business is growing and i get tenders to supply food for different occasions like trainings, weddings and many others.This will create opportunity for other people who will be in charge of outside catering.With this i will be able to make an average of $200 profit per
week.
