About Me

I was raised and schooled in the Gatuyaini in Othaya.Am the second last of the family of five siblings.My education wasn't smooth due to lack of fee as my parents had to balance with all of us .With help my teachers and counselling and hardworking every available time with my parents blessings I managed good grades and joined Maseno University quite a distance from central Kenya.Cultural challenges were many as it was after elections violence of 2008.After university armed with Bsc in Actuarial science and IT I
job searched but the only work I would get were temporary contract which aren't stable hence I saved some capital and bought fruits in bulk to deliver to markets.In Africa women are supposed as believed to stay home and raise children but nowadays we are fighting for the equal rights to own land and businesses.I have a son who all he talks of is flying and my daughter a variety as her age three.I am always consulting 

My Business

supply fruits to market and make delivery's.I started with going round the town selling but the demand is high as people want healthy eating.I used to finish my goods way before day end and soon I started taking orders and deliver from home.After sometime I started ordering in bulk and supplying to vendors but still did retail orders.I chose it because the market is ready and fruits sell throughout anytime,any weather and go fast.On normal days I make between 2500 to 6000. My profits go to the business first and home necessities.Sometimes I also pay school fees.

Loan Proposal

This amount remained of the blender I need in order to diversify my business from fruits retail to fruits and fresh juice.More income and juice to my customer who have been asking me for juice.10% increase in profits as demand is there.
