About Me

Am Evelyn and the first born of a family of seven. That is my parents and my other four siblings. I was able to school up to Junior High School but could not continue because we lost our father. Since then we have been helping our mother at farm to feed ourselves. Due to financial problem I was force to marry early against my wish. Currently I have two children my husband is trying but we hardly cater for ourselves so i borrowed some money to start a petty trade. My baby boy wants to be a soldier and my girl also wants to be a nurse in future. I like singing and listening to music.

My Business

I trade in foodstuffs, spices and vegetables. I decided to go into this business because there is a market place for women in my community who wants to trade and also the stuffs are things for food and it is needed everyday so i get sales everyday which help me to support my family. I use the little money to buy from wholesale shops and do retail. The profits from my business are used in three ways. 1. To invest in the business, that is buy more goods 2. support housekeeping and 3. support my children education.

Loan Proposal

Dear lenders this loan if granted will help me to pay part of the cost of a container(store) to a welder to make for me the above. This will help me to attract more customers and also have a proper storage place for my goods. That is the container will me to have a proper place to keep my goods for sale because the table i use currently is not able to contain all the goods and so am compel to keep some on the floor or on the ground. This sometimes put off some customers. Am hoping that if am able to package my goods well and it attracts more customers it will also increase my profit.
