My name is Lidya Awino and was born in Nairobi. I come from a family of eight children.
My mother is the one who was the sole bread winner and taking care of eight children was a task for her.
Having to share everything was a challenge but God has managed to be faihtfull till we are all grown up now.
Being many children i come from an area where peanuts are grown alot.
My siblings and i started getting peanuts frying,grinding them for peanut butter and selling them to make profit in order to cater for our daily needs.
This turned into a major business which has managed to raise us through our lives.
My business now is mainly making peanut butter. i supply them to super markets and sell them to families,friends.
The name of the product is called Victoria Land Peanut Butter.This business is easy as the peanuts take long to go bad and can stay up to one year.
My costs of running the business mainly is buying of tins,labels,peanuts,grinding and roasting in order to get a finished product. This costly mainly is around KSH 10,000.00.
The profits mainly are for school fees of my son,my college fees and also saving up for a roasting and grinding machine in future.
Dear Lenders
Thanks again for your continued support, Am kindly requesting to be funded once again US$ 100.00 this is for the purchase of another sack of peanuts for the peanut butter processing.
The last funding really helped me since buying the peanuts in small kilos is quite expensive.
This sack of peanuts will produce about 120 tins of peanut butter this will increase my profit with about us$ 150.
This is enough to repay the loan and cater for other personal duties like school fees,savings,food and transport.
Am looking forward to your kind assistance once again.
Regards
Lidya Awino
