About Me

I am mercyline juma I'm a pursuing a degree in education. I own a stall where I sell grocery to people especially students and am the main supplier to my parents hotel .I have two sisters and two brothers.

My Business

I own a stall where I sell grocery such as vegetables,tomatoes, onions and other spices,my main supplier is my parents hotel as they buy in bulk unlike most of my customers who are students.I spent 3400 shillings to buy everything in the stall,I had saved some money which my parents had given me,profit from braiding and a previous loan from zidisha.I use the profits from the business to cater for my daily needs while at school.

Loan Proposal

I want to buy two sacks of charcoal that currently retails at sh 1200 per sack hence two would cost me 2400($24) shilling. I would $10(1000) to add grocery to my stall.five dollars would be used to buy tomatoes and the $5 to buy a new basin to cut vegetables into it

    Thank you lenders for your great help, although I had great ups and down due to the government ban on charcool and the impediment rise in the price of charcool I have managed to make a profit of 2250 shillings that has helped in my stay at school. Thank you zidisha

    I'm sorry lenders to let you down but the sacks I bought have not given me the desired profits and it has also eaten into my investment but I will adjust it soon enough
