About Me

My names are Adhan Nuno, am 28 years old. I come from tana River County but currently I live in Nairobi County, I moved to Nairobi in the year 2014 to try and see if I can get a better life for me and my family. Am married with 2 kids. After searching for a job for a while which wasn't forthcoming I opted to start a tailoring shop, I had learned a few skills after completing high school. I gather my savings and bought a machine then rented a small outdoor place where I do repairs for clothes and also saw new ones.

My Business

I have small tailoring shop where I do repairs for clothes, I also saw clothes for functions like weddings, funerals and other celebrations, depending on my customers' orders. I have done this business since 2015 and so far it has been able to help me meet my family's needs. 
Depending on the orders I get I can make a profit of between KES 15000 to KES 20000, I use my profit to settle rent for my rented space, pay utilities at home and pay fees for my kids and other things they may require both at home and school. 
My goal I need to achieve is to be able get a better stall where I can saw clothes in advance for display, this will help me market my skills and also be able to expand my marketing and I hope Zidisha will help me achieve that.

Loan Proposal

hello dear lenders, thanks for the support and your faith in me, i would like to apply for a loan of 250 dollars to help me buy a new sewing machine, my current machine is manual and at times it get tiresome to operate it, this hinders me from completing my orders in time, but getting an electric machine will make my work easier and i will be able to find my orders in time, meaning i will be able to do more and that will increase my income.
i sincerely hope you will consider funding my loan to help me achieve this. thanks in advance and may God bless you.
