About Me
Hello, am Susan Wanjiru njoki, am 29 years old, am a single mother of two girls. I grew up in Murang'a County, where I attended my primary education and part of my secondary education unfortunately when I was in form three I got pregnant and I had to drop out of school, I had hopes returning back to school but my parents were unwilling to support me. So I hard to stay home that's when I thought I should start something to help support my child.
I started selling second hand clothes for other people during market days and the would pay me a commission according to my sales.
After I had saved enough I moved to Nairobi to explore other options, I fell in love with some guy but it was never meant to be he left after he discovered I was pregnant and that's how I got my second child.
Right now my focus is on my babies and how to give them a brighter future than the one I have.
My Business
I deal in 2nd hand clothes, mostly women stuff, be it shoes, handbags, clothes. I have a small stall around my home where I display my stuff for clients to buy, then I also do only sales, for instance I have a Facebook page where I take photos and post, I get orders through my inbox then we agree in delivery terms.
My business sustains me and my kids although it has its ups and downs.
Averagely in a month, I can make profit ranging between KES 20000 to 25000 depends on how the market is, I spend my profit to school my kids, pay rent and take care of other basic needs. I also do a little savings for emergencies.
I would like to use this platform to help me grow and expand my business am sure thus will hp me achieve my goals.
Loan Proposal
